Think Pink

armani privé The words “punk” and “shocking” may not be the first that come to mind when referring to Armani’s collections. However, the latter word was plastered on a hot-pink card that served as this season’s show invitation. The army of models all sported the same choppy black pixie haircut, which put the focus solidly on the fashion. Bold strokes of jewel tones of pink, lapis blue, malachite green and amethyst purple blended together seamlessly on gowns and suit ensembles. An emphasis on textures was apparent with lurex, Swarovski crystal embroideries and feathered chenille silks, which gave the house’s 40th anniversary look that extra touch of sparkle.
