Giorgio Armani: "I've Sacrificed My Life"

Photographs of Giorgio Armani's lifestyle may look undeniably fabulous, but the designer says his success has come at the cost of his personal life.

"Life, I have sacrificed life," said the designer in an interview in Elle UK's September issue. "The life of a young man when I first started out and the life of a grown man at the age I am now."

Armani, who turned 78 last month, is both CEO and creative director of his business, which he owns outright without any outside investors. He says building his empire made having time for friendships a difficult challenge.

"It is even more so now. Even harder, which is very sad because life is all about friendships, discovering people's personalities, falling in love, not just once or twice, but often. In a word, life. To live in the world. For example, I don't know Milan. People tell me of Milan," said the designer, who has lived in the city for over half a century.

His personal life isn't the only sacrifice Armani has made for the sake of his business. He told WSJ. Magazine in June that his penchant for exercise once put him in the hospital.

This or That: Under Pressure or Totally Bored?

After some major changes in both your personal and professional life, things have begun to move in a new direction.

After some major changes in both your personal and professional life, things have begun to move in a new direction. Now your brain, body, nerves, and emotions are adjusting to an entirely new routine, and it’s kind of tricky on the day to day. Would it be worse if…

This: You have more responsibilities and activities going on than ever before? You’re getting a lot done but feel completely underwater, and the stress is really starting to get to you.

Or…

That: Your life has slowed down considerably compared to the whirlwind it used to be? Things are incredibly slow at work, and you have so much free time you literally don’t know what to do with it all.

Dear Poll: Do You Talk About Your Personal Life At Work?

Since we spend most of our time at work, it's inevitable that our co-workers become more than that; they become our friends, our confidants, and our sounding boards.

Since we spend most of our time at work, it's inevitable that our co-workers become more than that; they become our friends, our confidants, and our sounding boards. And since having gripes about our loved ones, dealing with family drama, or even financial woes is just a part of life, it's close to impossible to leave those worries at home. I've always been the type to wear my emotions on my sleeve — I'll confide in co-workers as I would friends and family — but I know many people who are opposed to mixing business with anything personal. If you think about it, it's a good idea to draw the line somewhere, but no one way is better; so tell me, do you talk about your personal life at work or do you keep the two completely separate?

What Would Your Reality Show Theme Be?

These days just about anyone can have a reality show, and new ones seem to spring up everyday.

These days just about anyone can have a reality show, and new ones seem to spring up everyday. Recently, Denise Richards signed on to do her own reality show, which according to BuzzSugar will focus on her daughters and her high-profile divorce.

I don't think we've seen the divorce theme yet, though we have seen the newlywed, the engaged, the just dating, the thinking about having a baby, and the raising kids themes. Apparently just about everyone's life has a theme — at least when it's condensed into an hour a week. So I want to know is, if they were to make a reality show out of your life — the good, the bad, and the ugly — what would its theme be?
