introduce some new ideas while keeping some of the old ones. I mean Keping a recogniseable brand identity is important, but I think that could be done while still introducing something new and fresh in addition

You misunderstood me,
I was being sarcastic

I dont like the way the models pose when they walk, so Alexis Carrington (read: BAD 80s wannabe sophisticate)

I would love if he did something interesting, like a croc hoodie or SOMETHING...ANYTHING at this point, Ill take whatever I can get.

It might be a bit boring to many but I generally like it and more importantly, think it will sell. Aren't Armani's core customers middle-age to older women who have already established their style?

Did anyone else immediately think of the Steven Meisel (?) fashion story from Italian Vogue when they saw those head pieces/hats? You know, the plastic surgery story. Very similar...

I think Armani needs to move on from this look. It's been repeated for several seasons now in his collections. He has betrayed his legacy of beautiful sportswear for this prim and proper lady like look. He is catering more towards Hollywood and less towards groundbreaking or revolutionary concepts.

I really like it. And I like that I can always depend on Armani to bring something chic and reliable. He is one of the designers that I would not want him to do outlandish things and try something different.

I´m bored... I´m bored everytime I look at any of his collection

Oy. Another collection that everybody hates and I love.

First of all, he should really edit down his collections. 70+ looks is too much, especially when most are just variations of 10 or 15 pieces. Second, he should infuse just a bit of color. Third and most important, stop making the models wear hats. I'll let it slide this season, since hats are everywhere else too, but he needs to let down the hair once in awhile. He should not take fashion so seriously.

That said, Armani's staleness is still a lot better than most designer's best. The man knows how to do pantsuits and award show dresses. Give him a break.

I hate his "swimmer"'s hat.

I think it's kind of ugly. The shapes are so awkward and he's basically sticking on crystals onto the dresses.
