Armani Privé hc spring 2019


Well there is a first time for everything and today, if not a first, then a rarity... WTF was Armani thinking? The usual idiosyncrasies of those silly hats and odd skirts or pants imploded and invaded the runway turning this collection into a full-fledged mess.

Okay yes, jackets and tailoring are the main attraction and with few exceptions this explosion of color turned out to be a nightmare or something very close to it. Between the prints and chosen color combinations, this was one of Mr. Armani’s biggest missteps when it comes to couture. I mean feathers and fringe and organza ruffs and mushroom pleating and fringed beaded hats... yikes!

Of course we come to anticipate the usual Armani chic with only a few hits of color and lots of soigné looks for day and evening but alas this go around we got more than we ever could have imagined as this was far from raffiné or slick.

Whoever whispered in his ear that this was the way to go should be shown the door at once as this did nothing to enhance the stature of the brand or the designer! Well the bride must represent the Armani of times gone by!
