In one word: amber. That was Armani’s color du jour for his haute couture collection. A bit mundane perhaps, but the overall feeling was one of power, elegance and sheer gorgeousness. In a bit of a surprising move, Carmen Kass opened the show in a softly cut crepe suit (matching coat open, natch).
It was very symbolic of this power woman Armani channeled. Yes, there was a pronounced emphasis on daywear, but I felt he triumphed with eveningwear. Again, it was like Armani asked himself, “how many different ways can I show beige?” Collectively, it was a bit repetitive, but when one of these beauties saunters down a red carpet, it’s sure to turn heads. As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.
