Making a splash: Giorgio Armani hit the beach while enjoying a holiday with a male friend on beautiful Spanish island Formentera

Giorgio Armani looked fighting fit on the beach as he soaked up the sunshine with a friend on holiday on the gorgeous Spanish island Formentera yesterday.

No mean feat, given the iconic designer turned 77 this month.

Entirely at ease, he and his good-looking companion chatted quietly together in the beautifully clear water.

Giorgio has been enjoying his Spanish break with friends, during which he has sparked attention in his beach wear and body.

He's certainly worked on his look since last year, when shots of him wearing an unflattering pair of white speedos on the Formentera beach invited comparisons with Daniel Craig's iconic swimwear scene in Casino Royale.

Perhaps their not-so-hot reception was what prompted him to opt for the more flattering black pair he wore yesterday, which were also from his own collection.

It can't be denied that the Italian is in fantastic shape for his age, which can only be an asset when modelling his own designs.

He teamed the black speedos with a sleek pair of matching sunglasses, both a sensible and stylish option under the glaring sun.
