Hey
Fashionistas!!
Can
we saw AMAZING!!! To me thats the perfect word to describe Armani Privé Couture
Fall 2014 Collection presented at Paris Fashion Week. In case you miss it,
a big black lacquer box opened at the beginning of the Armani Privé show,
releasing a red glow and Giorgio Armani’s two big ideas for fall couture:
daywear with swing, and subdued eveningwear with added froth. The show was a
brisk and focused one, stripped of some, though not all, of the runway trickery
that can obscure the designer’s mostly clean and sculptural designs.
Armani
is enjoying something of a renaissance in men’s wear, and his tailoring for
women had a certain allure. He built cape effects into many of his jackets,
most of them cropped. This trapeze line was exaggerated further in swingy
overcoats in textured piqué fabrics. Frisky shorts finished off most of the
looks, though the pencil skirts and lean pants seemed a better foil to all that
volume on top. As you will see shades
of red and black dominated the runway, and origami shapes patched onto loose,
kimono-sleeve coats had a graphic oomph. Exploded animal prints were puzzling
and did not benefit from the addition of red squiggles and dots.
Take
a look at my favorite looks below! Enjoy!!
Happy Styling!!
