presents a nuanced, poised Autumn/Winter ‘21 Collection, embedded in the psychology of dressing.
In a sleek black room populated by a single green resin gorilla, the Armani show commences to a fast-paced beat—the life-size gorilla, representing the Armani household and an element of domesticity from the designer’s home in Milan, is a stagnant and nuanced symbol amongst a flurry of dark neutrals and crisp cuts.
The Italian fashion house is self-assured and confident, the portrait of an elevated contemporary man and woman. Garments are midnight black and ivory white, shades of midnight blue interspersed between: the image of regality and sophistication, formalwear brought into the everyday scene.Across the collection are refined embellishments and contrasting silhouettes, creating the perfect balance between light and dark, intimate and exaggerated.
Armani, through the diversity of the collection, has created an entirely new look for the wearer, one both elegant and playful, sophisticated and relaxed.
This looks like a dress Paula Yates would have worn circa 1980
