It is the first fashion designer to speak out openly against the conflict. Armani is making a big statement from the fashion world with his silence. He could count on a lot of respect from the audience. After loud applause, the fourteen-minute show began. Only the sound of clicking cameras, the sounds of the models and occasional applause could be heard. Other than that, the show remained silent.
