MAN OF HONOR

Today, Giorgio Armani will be awarded a Legion of Honor in Paris. French president Nicholas Sarkozy, who has invited the designer to the presidential residence, as reported in Fashion Wire Daily, will pin the medal on the designer himself.

Armani is currently in the City of Lights promoting his haute couture line, Armani Prive, as well. Double duty, it seems, but I bet getting awarded the Legion of Honor isn’t looked at as a chore. What’s more, he’s receiving this award before he turns 74 on July 11 – yes, Armani has been around for that long. Congratulations, Armani!

KARL LAGERFELD ON THE ROAD

The man with the golden touch and fingerless gloves, Karl Lagerfeld, designer of Chanel, Fendi, Lagerfeld Gallery, product campaign photographer, writer, has just added road safety to his lofty resume. One does not think of road safety as a hot or sexy commodity, nor do you associate the Kaiser with a fluorescent yellow safety vest, but it is a collaboration that is underway for summertime. Lagerfeld will appear in the road safety ads in France with his typical dour expression, white ponytail and dark glasses, all the while sporting the yellow safety vest encouraging drivers to equip themselves with safety vests with this simple statement, "It's yellow, it's ugly, it doesn't match anything, but it can save your life." But fear not, Karl remains his stylish self, pairing the safety vest with a black suit, crisp white shirt and bow tie.
