You just presented three more letters that don’t match up to the already unmatching letters in the first image, Griffin - further supporting the theory that this was done by hand.
Ahh... attention to detail Patty - I wasn’t wearing my glasses.
I still think it’s an OT font though. All the characters are individual (apart from the rm in Armani). If one was writing like that there’d surely be some joining characters.

My guess is handlettered. The repeating characters (i, r) don’t match up.

It is not unheard of for a mag to commission calligraphy for its headlines. What’s the magazine?

It’s probably an OpenType font with character alternates. The first o in Giorgio and the o in Dior appear to be the same.

Actually I think the first o in Giorgio has a markedly bigger loop.
