Ok it is a great collection - in parts.

Like people have said...too many pieces we have seen before especially those ballon skirts. Let them go Giorgio.

What I do like is the potential Oscar (if it happens) dresses.

Just a damn shame Blanchett is pregnant...some of these pieces would look amazing on her

Wow, I'm pleasantly suprised. I was expecting the same old Armani couture but he actually whipped up some new looks for this and its exciting! Some of the pieces really do look like artwork. Very beautiful and elegant.

Armani never does much to entice me with any of his collections, really, but I am really liking this collection. I really don't agree with the comments that any of this is boring, and I really do think that it takes it a step away from what is usually seen from him in Prive. It doesn't feel quite as sober, which I love.

I love the airy, light feel to it but I think I prefer last year's with the embroidery and embellishments.

But I ADORE that light blue green gown in #68. Gorgeous color.

It's an OK collection....a lot of the stuff looks similar to stuff I've seen before.

I'm usually neutral on Armani, but I enjoyed this collection. The only ones that stand out are in #18 and Olga's looks IMO.

please somebody explain me who is this woman Armani creates couture for. from all these endless skirt suits, all these super-small hats and the whole styling i can only assume this woman was in her late 50s... somewhere in the 1980s.
while the amazing work with the fabrics is there, it looks so outdated as the whole armani brand. sorry to say that. but that's really SO OVER.
even with this take on theyskens' spiral easthetic.

I think this is all extremely beautiful, there's a certain lightness to this collection but at the same time he's experimented with colour and certain dramatic sillouhettes and tailoring. It has this chic italian flair to it but a Parisian woman's cut...
