Nonchalant luxury and high sophistication — there is a sense of romance and grandeur in the women’s looks at Giorgio Armani’s Autumn/Winter collection this year.
Seemingly every collection in the year’s autumn/winter season has its designers looking to the future, towards a post-pandemic world. The Giorgio Armani collection is clear in its vision — we will make a triumphant return to refined looks, indulging in glorious eveningwear in silky and soft materials while retaining the comfort-first attitude we’ve all developed while at home, social distancing.
The womenswear sat prettily in a pink to blue-green gradient colour family (think: baby pinks, purples, greens with turquoise reflects, all shades of blue) lending a soft, watercolour feel to outfits and helping in creating a nature-focused, oceanic ambience.
The loose and casual tailoring, with cinched waists and wide shoulders, billowing trouser pants and swathes of material draped on models hinted at a more relaxed attitude to formalwear, after months of isolation. Couture-typical abstract silhouettes also made an appearance, with over-the-top spiral embellishments resembling waves, peacock tails and flowers.
The head-to-toe monochromatic looks included all-black and all-silver ensembles; an ultramarine, violet and Prussian blue patchwork trouser suit over a periwinkle and cerulean blouse; and a slinky sheer indigo dress with beaded petal and leaf stitchwork. Plush black velvet was juxtaposed with shinier ultrafine satin-silk and metallic and reflective fabrics. Flowing coral-like ruffles ran along the collars of blouses and at the cuffs of sleeves.
Beautifully embroidered jackets and gossamer dresses made the most impact — an air of nonchalant luxury, effortless and subdued but purposeful.
