I am not sure where to even start here as I am beyond
amazed, beyond impressed and ecstatic to have been part of this spectacle. This
is fashion like very very few. This happens on a day after some very large but
expected disappointments no matter what Blah Blah and Ms. Muchless say.
This is Armani mania or everything you ever wanted to know
about Giorgio Armani but never could grasp; maybe it is the world of Armani all
wrapped up neatly in bow for your perusal. No matter how you want to look at
this you must look at this as Armani at his best... Armani on steroids.
This is the soft side of GA and this is the flou and frou
sides as well as the structured. There are no real surprises but there is such
an overwhelming assortment of wearable clothes that one can only be slack
jawed. Before I continue to effuse and gush, we have day clothes!!! Yes, real
unadulterated go to lunch clothes and not clothes that are a stretch of the
imagination to suit the purpose. Okay, I need to carry on some more about the
raffiné, the polish, the slickness, the sophistication, the elegance, the chic
of this collection. There is classic Armani as well Armani 21st
century which only enhances and furthers his body of work.
It is rather hard to fathom that Mr. Armani is a late comer
to the world of haute couture as well as a late comer to the idea and concept
of real dresses. There was a time when his idea of dressing up was a dressy
suit. There was a time when he wasn’t as surefooted about his evening clothes.
This is a designer who first revolutionized and then “evolutionized” his body
of work for decades.
Please do not think that I am blinded by today’s feat of
high fashion and that I don’t recall some of the very large disappointments or
bloopers that are part of any designer’s repertoire. What I will say is simply
that when a designer presents a blockbuster collection of this magnitude and
quality, one’s memory might become quite short!
The clothes defy description and whether or not Blah Blah
and Signora Muchless applaud it or pan it, rest assured that THIS is what makes
fashion a glamorous and rewarding business to be part of!
To you Signor Armani I tip my hat and feel lucky and
privileged to have been able to bathe in the glory of this seasons offering!
PS yes I think the
shorts were an unfortunate choice but given the strengths of the grouping, they
seem almost superfluous! ONE last epiphany here .. this is man who only designed men’s clothes and yet
look at what happened in a relatively
short period of time.. Raffie??
