Tina Turner, Sophia Loren, Milla Jovovich, Samuel L Jackson and some 600 stylish Romans partied into the wee hours as Giorgio Armani threw a One Night Only shinding last night. Held in the modernist, Mussolini-built 'square Colosseum' outside the city centre, the evening's main order of business was an epic catwalk show - of both womenswear and mens' - that showcased Emporio, Armani Prive and the main Giorgio Armani line. During the Prive section in particular, the cocktail fuelled audience applauded as their favourite looks passed by. Tina Turner outdid them all, clapping with gusto even when the rest of the room was still.

Lots of the shoes, lots of the dresses. You know there are lots of his dresses I've bought and never worn because it's like having a piece of art, and you keep hold of them. And I clapped the guys too: sometimes I buy mens clothes too and I loved the shoes and the jackets. In Milan, Armani only ever bows briefly post-show before slipping backstage. Last night he worked the floor, doing a full turn of the horseshoe catwalk in a dapper velvet jacket. Giorgio Armani last night.
