This season, Mr Armani was led by the idea of “elegance to live in”. It’s something that’s always been engrained in the Giorgio Armani DNA; he is the man, after all, who liberated the suit over 40 years ago. Here there was a focus on loose silhouettes that were still formal in tone. Woollen trousers were cut wide, cocooning overcoats were oversized and rounded at the shoulder and supple grey cashmere knits were layered for maximum comfort.
Primary reds and blues perforated a mostly muted palette, which included long-line beige suit jackets and inky velvet twinsets. With an interlude of metallic Armani Neve range, the latter part of the collection moved into more glamorous territory, while still maintaining a relaxed mood when it came to silhouette. It was a handsome wardrobe to swear by.
