Giorgio Armani has responded to news reports showing a photograph of him posing with the latest suspect in the Meredith Kercher murder inquiry.
The designer was pictured standing next to Guede Rudy Hermann in a photo on the suspect's Facebook page but has spoken out saying he does not know the man.
In a statement released by Armani's press office it said: "The photo from Facebook depicting Mr. Giorgio Armani with Mr. Guede Rudy Hermann was taken as a tourist photo at Mr. Hermann's request. Obviously, Mr. Armani has never known Mr. Hermann".
A Uk newspaper got hold of the image from Hermann's online profile following his arrest in Germany this week for his involvement in Kercher's death.
The British 21 year old was murdered on 2nd November in her bed in Perugia, Italy where she was studying.
