While Mr Armani was unfortunately absent from his Giorgio Armani men’s show Monday morning as he recovers at home from a recent hospitalisation, his in-house atelier charged on, unveiling a collection built around bringing a sense of lightness to suave dressing. Looking good and feeling just as good doing it has always been an Armani mantra – he’s famously the man who loosened up the suit and never sacrifices comfort over elegance, and vice versa.
This mammoth collection of 115 looks included slouched navy slacks, muddy-coloured leathers and airy knits with scooped necklines. As always, suiting was a strong point, with jackets cut loose and bathed in muted blues and greys. A slew of lilac knits and tunics towards the end of the show punctuated what was a mostly a reserved palette – making for the sort of clothes that could fit effortlessly into your everyday look.
