ANYONE WHO READS ME REGULARLY KNOWS I AM A DIE-HARD Armani fan BUT I must admit that this collection seems off; from the palette to the choice of silhouettes and even to the overall looks of each of the endless repetitive exits.
It starts out seemingly very Armani (jacket heaven) and slowly dwindles to repetitive pastel looks that might even be considered generic. Yes, it’s a jacket and pants fest and yes, it’s about shoulders and then suddenly is about these filmy or poufy, frilly or just plain oddly assembled outfits that look out of place when linked to the brand.
Yes, there is that Armani fluidity coupled with that Armani weightlessness in most and then there seems to be all these needless “fish out of water” filler that does not show the designer off at his best. Where was the urbane and soigné we usually see?
If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say someone else designed most of this and all Amani had to do was sign off on it. The slickness of his collections is not present nor that commanding presence that the clothes usually possess. Even the choice of fabrications and prints seems off!
Honestly, I
don’t know what to make of it ... even the styling was off
