"He is not normally known for his sartorial style but Russell Crowe made a fashion statement yesterday at Milan Men&rsquo;s Fashion Week. The 51-year-old made an appearance in the front row at Giorgio Armani&rsquo;s runway show where his $600 Bottega Veneta woven black gloves fast became a talking point. The Gladiator star, who paired the gloves with a black overcoat, pale blue shirt and a scarf, sat with Armani&rsquo;s niece and publicist, Roberta, before catching up with the iconic designer post show. Crowe is a long-time friend of Armani, meeting him for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival. The actor, having lost his luggage, said the designer offered his card suggesting he renew his wardrobe at his store. He must have paid heed, telling reporters he was wearing Armani head to toe. &ldquo;Armani socks, Armani shoes, Armani shirt, Armani suit,&rdquo; Crowe said, laughing. &ldquo;Apart from that nothing else.&rdquo; He now is often seen wearing Armani at red- carpet events and has even asked the 81-year-old to design uniforms for his Sydney rugby team."
