GIORGIO ARMANI

The power suit of the ’80s was what made Armani famous, but evening wear has also shone through in recent years, with A-list actresses, including Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore, flocking to the label for red-carpet occasions. No surprise that evening wear stole the show, in particular a sheer floral-embroidered gown and a power suit crafted from rich black velvet with crystal pinstripes and finished off with sparkly fringed gloves. Armani has also brought back a softer version of that ’80s look with feminine combinations of blouses and skirts for daywear.
