If I were ever to be a couture customer (let’s be frank here, it is unlikely to happen,) Armani Privé is probably the last of the big couture houses I would shop at. I just can’t relate to his collections, the strong shouldered tailoring, the fancy evening dresses, and the 80′s power woman feel to all his collections isn’t me. Plus, I think they are a bit repetitive, and this season is no different. However, amongst the boring suits and the strapless evening dresses with tailored drapes, there were quite a few beautiful pieces (even ones that I’d wear.) Now, all I need is the money to afford them.
I love…
the chic, sculptured shape of this coat, the degradé top, the velvet trousers, and the white shoes. It’s not groundbreaking, but a very strong look.
the cut of these tops, especially the way the sleeves appear to be one piece.
these gorgeous oversized tops.
that this is the dress I’d like to wear when I finally go to Vegas.
I loathe…
that this tailoring looks like it was in the last 10, 20, or even 30 Armani shows.
these ridiculous masks, Armani shouldn’t try and be edgy.
what looks like a Pierrot outfit for a 65 year old.
