Haute Couture Fall 2010: Armani Privé

Ok, think Dynasty, think 70′s and 80′s retro glamour, think the Gucci by Gucci ad, and think the famous Steven Meisel Fall Winter 2000 Versace campaign. That’s what the Armani Privé Fall 2010 collection looks like. The tailoring is sexy and strong, and the evening wear is very glitzy. My only complaint is that a lot of the tailoring looks very ready-to-wear, I hope the finishes and fit make the hefty price tag worth it.

I love…

fabulous 70's glamour.

more beautiful 70's tailoring. I love the draped neckline, the giant button, and the tones of brown and tan.

a crocodile jacket. That is haute couture.

a glittering long-sleeved gown.

Armani's take on Dynasty evening wear.

I loathe...

a bad fit. The model wearing this dress needs much higher, larger breasts.

the unflattering shape of this dress. I know couture is about creating an incredible fit with the minimum number of seams, but this just looks shapeless.

    I hate when HC looks like RTW!

    The dress on Karmen Pedaru (your final “loathe”) looks truly heinous. She looks like she’s wearing a curtain of some sort…

    Agree. That’s why Dior is usually my favourite couture show. It rarely looks RTW. Alexandra Suhner Isenberg
