Curvy? No Bondage Dress For You: Designers Who Don’t Want You Wearing Their Clothing
Giorgio Armani
World-renowned designer Giorgio Armani once said that he was OK with some gay men, but not the ones who dress to the “extreme”:
“A homosexual man is a man 100 per cent. He does not need to dress homosexual. When homosexuality is exhibited to the extreme – to say: ‘Ah, you know I’m homosexual,’ – that has nothing to do with me. A man has to be a man.”
Whether or not he meant to bar some men from wearing his designs, some of his former fans have vowed to stop wearing his label.
