The last time I saw this much Armani in one place, it was in the front rows of an Armani show, but it turns out that Armani Beauty is one of the main sponsors of the Venice Film Festival, so get used to it. This is not a bad thing, by the way -- Armani is generally at worst reasonable. [The other big sponsor is Cartier,](https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/cartier-becomes-main-sponsor-venice-film-festival-1234887391/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) which is ALSO not a bad thing. Bring me all your jewels!
