    He said: "If a lady walks on the street and sees an ad with a woman with her boobs and arse in plain sight and she wants to be like that too, that's a way of raping her," Armani said. "You can rape a woman in many ways, either by throwing her in the basement or by suggesting that she dresses in a certain way."

    "I'm sick of hearing the word 'trend'. We need to try to work for today's woman. There shouldn't be trends," he added.

    Giorgio Armani also encouraged women to be more determined and bold, as show note :"The Emporio Armani woman is strong-willed, eclectic and bold in her decisions. With little regard for mundane rules, she is a young woman that bewilders and astonishes."
