The Armani Group has entered into a long-term licensing agreement with Venchi, one of Italy’s market leaders in the high quality chocolate sector, for the production and distribution throughout the world of Armani/Dolci - a line of products including chocolate, pates de fruits, ice creams and panettone.

“This new collaboration with Venchi represents the natural fusion of my desire to offer our clients Armani/Dolci products of the highest quality, already recognised and appreciated throughout the world, with the exceptional skills and traditions of the Italian market leader in the quality chocolate sector,” says Giorgio Armani, president and ceo of the Armani Group – one of the leading luxury and fashion goods groups in the world.
Using recipes that are up to 130 years old and faithful to the culture of the region’s chocolate-making tradition, Venchi prides itself on a “good, pure and genuine” philosophy.
“Our intention is to build Armani/Dolci into the benchmark for fine Italian confectionery throughout the world,” says Daniele Ferrero, president of Venchi.

Campbell was born in Streatham, London, England. Her mother, Valerie Campbell (née Morris), is a former ballet dancer of Afro-Jamaican descent. In accordance with her mother’s wishes, Campbell has never met her unnamed father, who left then-18-year-old Valerie two months after the birth of their daughter.Discovered by Elite’s Beth Boldt, aged 15, at the Italia Conti stage school in London, Campbell’s Caribbean and Chinese heritage bestowed her with exotic good looks that led to her being the first ever black model to appear on the cover of British Vogue in December 1987. Soon after
that she was walking catwalks for Versace, Armani and Westwood and starring in the campaigns of Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. n 1999, Campbell developed a spin-off company, the Design House of Naomi Campbell. So far, Campbell has created seven fragrances for women, most of which were released in Europe. In 2000, Campbell introduced her first perfumes, Naomi Campbell and Naomagic. In 2001, Campbell introduced her third perfume, Cat Deluxe, and in 2003 released Mystery.

A year later a fifth fragrance was made, Sunset, and in 2005 another fragrance was released, Paradise Passion. Campbell’s latest fragrance is a new version of her Cat Deluxe perfume called Cat Deluxe at Night..Since 1997, Campbell has been involved in charity work mainly focused on the children and people of  Sub-Saharan Africa. She has worked with Nelson Mandela, and has said that one of her greatest joys in life is knowing Mandela, stating that his kindness, passion and intelligence make him a modern world leader. In 2005, she helped create and participated in Fashion Relief, raising over a million dollars for Hurricane Katrina victims.^{[citation needed]} On 7 July 2007 she hosted the South African leg of Live Earth in Johannesburg.

What with well-documented tantrums, public feuds, high-fashion community service, superstar boyfriends, infamous catwalk

tumbles and hoards of designer best friends, Naomi Campbell could never be called dull.
