Giorgio Armani maintained silence over questions about his personal life for the majority of his career. That silence only fueled curiosity and it was not until an interview with Corriere della Sera in his later years that Armani spoke openly about his experiences of love, attraction and heartbreak. The fashion designer had admitted that he was attracted to both men and women throughout his life. Sharing his earliest memories of being attracted to men, Giorgio said:
“It was under a shed on the beach at Misano Mare, at 5 in the afternoon, when all the boys from the colony were taken to the beach to relax. I was in a group of boys, and there was a supervisor, a young man, who I felt immediately attracted to.”
