Giorgio Armani Womenswear Spring-Summer 2013 Review

Variations, nuances, juxtapositions. The world of armani is multifaceted, as if observed through a kaleidoscope that separates, refracts and illuminates.It is ingenious in its use of shapes, fabrics, and its quality of workmanship. Subtle yet profound alterations create soft, naturally deconstructed fits, rendered fluid through the use of gossamer silk and organza.Light overcoats and short, beautifully tailored jackets fit like a glove, and are paired with flowing trousers, measured to perfection above the ankle, or shorts that suddenly bring the legs into sight.The low shoes are masculine yet tapered, the silver heels providing a shimmer of light with every step, while the high shoes come with rhinestone-studded heels. black, turquoise and grey are the main colours, accompanied by jade and light blue softened with white, brightened also in daywear by transparent yarns, crystal touches, and reflections.The sparkle is accentuated for the evening, with a constellation of stars on a navy blue background.

Giorgio Armani Spring/Summer Collection 2012

Giorgio Armani Spring/Summer 2012: The sheen of mother-of-pearl, the iridescence that transforms colours into watery reflections.Light that becomes shape, shape that is distilled into the purest lines. The more important the role of the fabric, the more conceptual the line of the garment.Defined, even beneath skirts and dresses, by wafer thin trousers with a slight slit at the front.The jackets, cut on the bias for greater fluidity and freed from collars and buttons, are fastened at the bust by a tiny hook concealed within. The dresses come in a range of different lengths, from knee to ankle, cascading over the body like glistening water.Invoking an utterly modern elegance that rejoices in gleaming silks and satins in aqueous and mineral colours nuanced between green and azure. Culminating in the see-through dress that appears to be covered in minute drops of water applied to a mesh base. In a game of subtractions and reversals, precious evening gowns are worn with flat shoes, while day dresses call for high heels.
