Giorgio Armani Prive Couture - Autumn/Winter 2015

Tailoring is very much at the backbone of what Giorgio Armani does; you’ll always find structure in his designs, those long lengths and trousersuits, it’s always glossy and rich-looking. Today was no different.

A signature Armani offering, his first outfit was very much indicative of where the silhouette continued to go later on, building as it did with shaggy shots of pink, purple and sometimes blue for a texture-heavy collection of feathers and rope fringing woven in together so that the models looked in some way like sophisticated birds of paradise. They wore coats and jackets comprised from these flusters, bodices of strapless evening gowns boasting them too.

It was all very grown-up as we expect and the real take-away was that clever and controlled play on colour. For even when it was black, it was tie-dye, washing from one colour to another for a painterly palette and an accomplished Armani collection.
