Tributes have been paid to the legendary fashion designer Giorgio Armani who has died at the age of 91. Lady Helen Taylor, a cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II, became something of a muse and a fashion ambassador for Armani. Speaking to Newshour's James Menendez, she reflects on her friendship with the Italian designer, beginning with when they first met.
