Taking a breather from futuristic experiments and far-flung multicultural references, Giorgio Armani went back to Thirties glamour, and according to critics, delivered one of his strongest Privé collections in recent seasons. “This collection is to please all women, not just five out of 10,” said Armani backstage.
The clothes had contemporary airs and the pantsuits Armani paraded were 100 percent his: The pants were cut pajama-loose, while the streamlined jackets fell from pronounced yet rounded shoulders. Armani named his collection “Nude” for the pale makeup colors he employed for daywear, and gossamer fabrics scattered with Deco embroideries or filmy metallic lace for night.
