6. SOUNDBITE (English) Damien Chazelle, director:
"Well again I think it’s an art form like any other and I was talking to someone the other night about, just that I am a big believer that all the art forms are in dialogue with each other, cinema being simply a synthesis of the art form, so whether it’s painting or dance or fashion these are all different forms of artistic expressions and I try to pay attention to all of them and get inspired by all of them and try to learn from all of them. I know nothing myself about clothes but I appreciate the beauty of them at their highest form."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Russell Crowe, actor, on his relationship with Armani:
"They lost my bags on the flight and Arnon Milchan, the producer, said 'Here take my credit card, go to Armani, that’s the best place.' So I went to Armani with Arnon Milchan's credit card and somehow that turned into meeting Giorgio and then that turned into a friendship that’s now 30 years, close to 30 years. So it’s great, we used to design jackets together, we designed jackets for the Oscars multiple times, and I am looking forward to seeing him, I haven’t seen him for ages.’
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Russell Crowe, actor, on wearing jeans to the show:
"Because I just got out of the plane last night, molto stanco, jet lag, crazy, so I just want to be relaxed, and if I am relaxed I am going to enjoy the show more."

STORYLINE:
There has been one constant at the Giorgio Armani fashion house for the last 49 years, and that’s Giorgio Armani.
His looks are a steady evolution of the relaxed tailoring that has characterized his fashion empire.
Soothing hues set the mood for the Spring-Summer 2024 collection, where the loose, often pleated, trousers were the star.
Jackets were worn open, and shirts were often collarless or with casual shawl collars.
Silken trousers featured big side pleats, billowing with each step. Small slit pockets provided utility.
Vests added a ruffian flair, with or without shirts. Scrunchy sun hats were packable.
Models walked slowly, deliberately, on a runway surrounded by video images of tropical plants, a motif of the season.
Some smiled, as the designer has urged in recent seasons.
Turning 90 next month, Armani remains firmly at the center of his fashion group, which launched in 1975, and is always on hand to take a bow after his shows.
This round, he was joined by his long-time right-hand-man Leo Dell’Orco, who is head of Giorgio Armani menswear, and Gianluca Dell’Orco, a lead menswear designer for the group.
