Through the designer’s sensitivity and sense of precision, Giorgio Armani Privé’s Fall/Winter 2023-2024 Haute Couture collection reinterprets the most iconic of flowers. Far away from trite romanticism, the rose is at the heart of the exquisite creations, as it blooms ever-so-mysteriously on elongated silhouettes in a true embodiment of the female imagination.
Glossy, lacquered roses were embossed on surfaces in a pattern adorned with graphic black and accents of gold. Dotted with sharp yet supple lines, small jackets, long skirts, fluid trousers, and silhouette-sculpting dresses were seen on the runway, completed with extremely slim and towering heels. And as part of this journey from the east to the west, hints of other cultures and worlds came to life through petals and buds that, along with rhythmic geometries and lines of light, constituted a pattern that only the protagonist woman, who the designer imagined as one who consciously seduces, can pull off.
