ARMANI called his Emporio show this morning ‘Fancy Girl’ and gave us ten keywords (or phrases) that he said would give the Armani girl’s style a “fresh sense of vivacity”: glamour; geometric deco; lightness; sheath; daywear; sleekness; an array of shades of colour; shape; form; fancy. And that was just the beginning.
He set about solving the problem of how to wear shorts and miniskirts if you don’t feel comfortable revealing yourself – by teaming them with sheer, ruched three-quarter length legging or tube skirts that added a sporty element to more grown-up suits or shiny trapeze tunic dresses and gave the general look a more youthful silhouette. “A sort of sporty couture,” said Kate Phelan.
There’s always so much to see when Armani takes the limelight – and today’s layered up looks, in spectrums of the same shades of pale blue and grey, had an easy elegance. Even if you don’t consider yourself an Armani girl, the models walking two-by-two in similar-but-not-quite-identical outfits is undeniably a spectacle - and no wardrobe would be worse off with some chunky, geometric, glossy jewellery or a triangular handled, oversized handbag from the Armani workshop, thank you very much.
Bright pink organza ruffled dresses and lace up, kitten heeled booties are going to be an acquired taste - if that - and were at odds with the more casual luxe of layered up silk hoodies, beautifully cut tapered trousers, washed leather jackets and silk macs with ruffled hems, while a glittering palm print in pink or turquoise and silver were a far more appealing way to dress up.
