Celebrity Life

The more approachable and relaxed label in the Armani coterie, Emporio Armani has always had the man-on-the-move in mind. This autumn winter, the brand showcased the rugged male, perhaps taking a small page out of Leonardo DiCaprio’s The Revenant.

Although an avowed pal of our four-legged friends, Giorgio Armani nonetheless adorned sizeable portions of his Emporio Armani autumn/winter menswear looks with fur. Fortunately, for said quadropeds, however, the storied Italian brand has taken note of the shift in the industry and all fur was of the fur variety. Whether it was used for coats, jackets or bags – and even shoes – it did look quite surprisingly real, as well as appropriately cosy.

Also much in evidence in a collection that, though wilderness inspired, was in reality aimed at the city, were parkas, puffas and scarves, the latter almost voluminous enough to be worn as tops.

Nobody can deliver classic Italian style quite like Mr Armani. This autumn winter 2019, Giorgio Armani delivered a languid and sultry collection called “Rhapsody in Blue” at Armani Silos, the brand’s vast exhibition complex opened in 2015 in Milan.

Satin and velvets in black and blue were twisted and cut into slim and sharp silhouettes as well as shapes that billowed and fanned out. Crushed velvet was juxtaposed against glinting satin and ornamentation alternated between fabric swirls and mirrored enamel set against purple beads. Pants were either jodhpurs or cut slim and the swirl motif also made an appearance on the leather of square-toed boots. While Armani’s signature suiting remained key – as double breasted pieces or loose trousered, single breasted creations with ornamentation dotting the jackets, the one-shouldered tops evinced most excitement.

Thirty select VIPs previewed Hettabretz’s Fall/Winter 2019 collection at a private dinner hosted by Federico Bertuzzi, the brand’s creative director. Organised by Hettabretz’s Singapore partner Kwang Sia, in collaboration with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Singapore, the repast was held at the latter’s gorgeously appointed showroom. On display were sumptuous, customisable designs for both men and women in the softest of exotic skins and the finest woven materials. Guests were feted with a lavish four-course dinner that included Boston lobster, Hokkaido scallops and baked Atlantic cod fish, all prepared by Garibaldi’s executive chef and owner Roberto Galetti. Wine pairings for the night included the 2014 Jean-Marie Fourrier Echezeaux Grand Cru and the 2014 Bachelet-Monnot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée, both from the region of Burgundy in France.

 The collection also flirts with the idea of bondage inspiring fashion -- remember that iconic leather belted dress Donatella wore to Vogue’s 100th anniversary party that made headlines in 1993? Gianni himself once said, "Women are more sure of themselves today. They don't have to emulate the way men dress." Fast forward to 2019 and Donatella shares, "If I had to find a word that defines today’s men, it would be daring."

Let's not forget the show itself, taking place at Milan Fashion Week. It marked Versace's first men's show since being acquired by Michael Kors Holdings Limited for just over $2 billion last year. The show also featured female models you'll have no trouble recognising by name and face, including Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber and Emily Ratajowski. Models of both gender walked the runway to the soundtrack of drag queen RuPaul's Supermodel  ("Sashay! Shantay!"), as if validating the notion that menswear as we know it is definitively getting some work done.
