“I don’t think it’s necessary to celebrate this wonderful milestone. Armani is a timeless man, an artist capable of crossing generations without ever aging, a person capable of renewing himself while remaining a point of reference. For me, he has been an absolute idol since I was little more than a girl. For my first official photo as an actress, I went looking for an Armani dress. And I can assure you that I couldn’t afford it. It was the only piece of clothing that made me feel glamorous and chic, it was a kind of self-esteem operation that was very successful. Armani has the unique ability to spread optimism and positivity in a world that seems to want to push us in the opposite direction. Only the greatest talents are able to leave such a strong mark on society. Armani is surprise and adventure. We share the same passions, from cinema to architecture. He is a philanthropist, an honest and sincere person, tough and rigorous with himself. I believe there is no one as capable as him of expressing with tenacity and determination the concept of female empowerment, bringing together different cultures and generations with absolute style. We must learn the lesson from Armani: independence is an absolute value and it is not important what you wear, but how you wear it.”
