Armani 'Marvellously Well' After Winning Battle With Hepatitis

Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani has said that he is feeling "marvellously well" after winning a long battle with hepatitis.

According to Ansa news agency, Armani, 75, who was at Vogue Fashion's Night Out in Milan, Italy, and a perfume launch, said that his liver was in such good shape that he could stop taking the medicine he had been on.

Hepatitis A is the most benign of the hepatitis viruses and usually has no long term side effects. Hepatitis A vaccine is available that is 95% effective in preventing the disease.

Armani had revealed in May that he had been battling hepatitis, and after several missed public appearances in spring, and a gaunt appearance at the June Italian menswear shows, there were concerns about his health.

"I'm marvellously well, I beat my problem. The data about my liver are nearly perfect - some even better than perfect - such that I can stop taking my medicine," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

The tanned designer said he had also just returned from a long, relaxing vacation cruising around Croatia, Italy's southern coast and the islands off Sicily before ending up at his home on the island of Pantelleria.
