Paris, France – In his new haute couture collection for the Fall Winter 2016/17 season, we see Giorgio Armani simply being himself, but on a rarified level. He provides to us beautiful attire that revisits the classics.
The new Armani Privé collection is a trip down memory lane in which the female form is given grace and elegance. Slender cuts follow the natural shape of the woman all while making for the most remarkable shapes. They show the skin. This is achieved through either revealing the skin through his cuts or even through his use sheer fabrics. He punctuates the looks with his thin belts.And of course Armani has decided to do it all largely on a backdrop of silk velvets.
Giorgio Armani also calls upon crystals, beading and even pearls to create subtle but attractive embroideries. Some of the bead work is shaped as pockets and then used over the breast of a gown. And though the collection is dominated by black, there is also the hint of gray and other mint green. This latter is used in the formation of the giant pied de poule prints.
And finally Giorgio Armani adds very large short sleeves to create that moment of drama in the gowns.
