Yachting Travel: Armani's Summer Vacation

74-year-old designer Giorgio Armani was spotted recently, relaxing on his boat off Sardinia. Not shown: the Speedo he's sunbathing in.

Earlier this summer Armani received the Légion d'honneur from French president Nicolas Sarkozy, for which stars from Tina Turner to Helen Mirren feted him in some of his many creations.
