I wonder how Giorgio
Armani lives with himself. I mean it can’t be easy being him and turning out
collections that are pure 100% unadulterated Armani. To top that off, he really
doesn’t give a rat’s ass as to what the critics have to say unless of course they
assault him and then he simply bans them.
Spring 2015 at the Casa of Armani is all about being a man
of style. You might remember them, they wear beautifully made clothes that hint
at trends and don’t necessarily blend or want to belong in the worlds created
by the likes of Wang’s and Nicky’s, Ricky’s and Raf’s. In other words, these are clothes that are
refined, slick, cosmopolitan, soigne, immensely tasteful, ageless and might
massage a trend rather than come at it head on. You might also recall this man
as the one who understands that navy blue is the black of spring and being a
man and looking like man is asset rather than a deficit.
This brings me to the styling including the model selection
for the presentation, translated simply, Mr. Armani selects men who are
unabashedly unmistakably unapologetically handsome and look like men. There are
no post pubescent boys or any possible transitional transgenders here. In
another facet of his my way or the highway thinking, he goes against the trends
and the prevailing preferences of other designers.
Here is my big revelation of the day... Giorgio Armani is
the Ralph Lauren of Italy! They consistently turn out collection that speak to
their client base and attract new ones each season. Both designers turn out
collections that have that covet factor and turn the tried and true into the
new. You might say that Lauren and Armani are magicians or per chance masters
of their art/trade who have seduced their customers with clothes that offer
silent signals of success and taste without the bells and whistles and the look
at me factor.
That’s my rant!! Keep in mind that it is understood that you either love or hate these clothes but know that I have been seduced and not once have been abandoned
