In an intimate atmosphere that feels like a living room, Giorgio Armani welcomed his guests to the small theatre at Via Borgonuovo 21 to unveil a wardrobe filled with sublime fluidity. The idea of gentle domesticity prevailed, not only through the presence of sofa cushions, but also through the dialogue between the creations from one end, and the body and its movements from the other.
The collection consisted of silky dresses that recall pajamas, enveloping shawls, soft trousers, pullovers, elongated jackets, and long dresses. A palette of earthy, bronze, and powder tones accompanied by touches of mandarin and an abundance of black kajal took over the pieces, while the recurrent stylized flower motif that symbolized grace, delicacy, and discretion had its share of the show. In a subtle play on shiny and matte, many were the accessories that accompanied the outfits, from the new model of La Prima to berets with beaded fringes.
In this atmosphere of theatrical intimacy, allure and mystery were definitely the main players, along with Giorgio Armani’s unique take on ready-to-wear.
