The hard reality tell us he's 87 yo,and rightly super hands on his empire. That means we cannot expect novelties from him. He was the one who left Lanvin to destroy Claude Montana and made his own HC pasted his 75 birthday! He's a great one, a creator and a compelled - great business man- when is declared partner passed away.He still makes desirable foks, but don't ask him changes....Color palette is hideous but I am going to ignore that since clients can adjust it to their liking.
It's sad to think that Armani is the last working designer from the "old guard". With Karl and Yves gone, Valentino retired I appreciate that we can still see collections from a man who had the luck to create and experience fashion in it's best period.
I wish him the best and hope he will have the strength to grace his clients with even more beautiful creations.
