We have already been talking about Christian Bale and the new chapter of Batman in whose feature he wore exclusively Giorgio Armani, hand made just for him.

Now, for the premier in London of “The Dark Knight”, after abandoning Bruce Wayne alter ego he picked another Italian brand to show off: here he is in an incredible kid mohair dress from the fall – winter 2008/09 Prada collection.

What does fashion deal with super heroes? Everything if they are signed by Giorgio Armani, the king of Italian fashion in the worldIn this case our super hero is Batman Bruce Wayne, alias Christian Bale, wearing a hand made Giorgio Armani suite created specifically for him. Christian Bale look will involve other exceptional dresses and accessories with the unique signature: Giorgio Armani for Bruce Wayne. In order to realize Bruce Wayne elegant wardrobe for the coming movie “The dark knight” Giorgio Armani worked with costume designer Lindy Hemming.

For this occasion has been realized an advertising campaign catching two birds with one piece of bread by representing the imminent launch of the movie and the Giorgio Armani collection “Hand made, tailor made”. In May, the Italian designer was the godfather of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for the show Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy, so this is not the first time he is mixing the world of fashion and cinema, movies “American Gigolo” and the most recent “Lions for lambs” are both Armani’s signed for instance.

Lindy Hemmig commenting this extraordinary collaboration: “For Bruce Waynne style, me and Chris Nolan would search for an elegant and precious style in contrast with Batman’s, Bruce alter ego. We strongly believed that the Armani brand could be perfect for the classical – contemporary look we wanted to achieve for Bruce, and I do believe that Armani style reflected our idea”

We carry on with our proposal for the autumn-winter 2008/09 ad campaigns. After admiring Roberto Cavalli and Jimmy Choo, it’s Armani’s turn now, with the pre autumn Giorgio Armani and Emporio Armani collections.

Two different campaigns with a soul in common that combines the fleetingness taste and the ethereal and intangible nature of elegance, represented by shadowing colours and images that, specially for Emporio Armani are stressed out by an essential black and white as sophisticated as the collection itself. Du Juan lends her look to Giorgio Armani’s campaign. The model Freja Beha Erichsen, who had already posed for Balenciaga and Gucci, is in fact Emporio Armani’s testimonial for the Pre-Fall collection 2008 ad campaign.

This is THE event organized by the National Chamber of Italian Fashion, whose protagonist is, twice a year, man fashion. Four days, from the 21st to the 24th of June 2008, entirely dedicated to the Milan Man Fashion Spring Summer collection 2009.
