Armani to Design Wedding Dress for Katie Holmes  10/20/06

Famed fashion designer Giorgio Armani will design Katie Holmes' dress for her upcoming wedding to Tom Cruise.

Although no official wedding date has been announced, media reports have suggested the couple will marry in Italy sometime next month (NOV06).

Rod Manley, Director Of Public Relations And Media Planning for Armani tells American publication Us Weekly, "I can confirm that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have asked Giorgio Armani to design their official wedding attire for their upcoming marriage."

The spokesman added that an Armani photographer will be taking pictures at the wedding, along with photographers hired by Cruise.

Fashion bible Women's Wear Daily claims Armani has designed five different outfits for Holmes for various events taking place on the wedding weekend.

Holmes has said she was looking for "something sheer and floaty" to wear for her nuptials.

The former Dawson's Creek star confirmed last week (ends15OCT06) that she had selected her wedding dress.

The couple have been engaged since 17 June 2004 and have a daughter, Suri, who is six months old.
