Kelle Azzopardi, a former executive assistant at the label's Manhattan
headquarters, claims that her then-boss, Laura Giulini, spent months
harassing her. In one incident, Giuilini apparently summoned her to her
office and "proceeded to take off her pants and expose herself."
Azzopardi is suing the company over claims that she was fired last
November for speaking up about her alleged sexual harassment - claims
which Armani refuted in a statement today: "Giorgio Armani Corporation
absolutely denies any wrongdoing in connection with Ms. Azzopardi's
employment and can say without hesitation that Ms. Azzopardi was
terminated for unsatisfactory performance."
