It's no secret that I'm always here for whatever Giorgio Armani does, it wasn't my favorite collection, but at least we can see the quality and how well it was executed, especially the shoulders, the finish is perfect.

wow! his black is really blacker and more gorgeous than all the others... that fluid silk that has become a sort of trademark of his couture was incredible. A sort of best of, we have seen it all before but it's always a pleasure to watch. My only complaint is that they have the best dressed clients and they decide to put the camera right in front of Ideservecouture and his terrible taste. He was so cheap and distracting lol.

He didn't bow at the end? Idk but I was a little disappointed with this collection 😭

 

[Mrs.T]

Always a pleasure !! Although in a way he's collections blend in together it's always interesting to look at. Easily this show is in my top 3 highlights this couture week

Being a lowly nobody that must traverse amongst the commoners, that royal blue just screams Walmart, while the iridescence jewel tones just shouts Pokemon Prismatic. Demna would troll with this sort of consumer cheapness in high fashion, but for someone like Gio, he’s all serious of its beauty since he would likely have no clue of Walmart’s signature blue nor prismatic/cotton candy/rainbow iridescence being a Pokemon card signature. It's genuinely charming without a whiff of trolling.

Once it all gets back to shimmering, dazzling, cascading neutrals, silvers/golds, and all-black, it’s more classic Armani Privé comforting. Clearly he designs for his loyal faithfuls, rather than design for social or to push fragrances, and that includes his guests seated at the shows: Doesn’t look to have a plague of influencers/Instacelebs/paid ambassadors amongst the bunch. And I’m just glad he’s allowed us a peek into his very real but enclosed, rarified, privileged world.

The color palette reminds me of his F/W 2008 RTW show which was always one of my favorites!

I love the tightly tailored jackets at the beginning, I've grown quite tired of oversized tailoring a la YSL and deluge the Philo clones.

How does this man never get one wrong? Superb collection as always, the true meaning of couture.

This is Giorgio at his most Armani. He's playing with his codes, adding just enough distortion to keep us alert. That black is really BLACK, as already noted. This is reliability as luxury, probably the rarest kind these days.

Armani > Chanel

 

[Salvatore]

I agree, the black was incredible ! It was so luxurious. I am feeling very happy I can appreciate Armani now. For me it's filling a void that Karl's Chanel left open for me.

Also, I love his casting. Them being relatively unknown does not take away from the look and feel of it being Armani. His aesthetic and touch is just that potent and powerful.

The apron gown made of studded loops in look 48 is quite fab and fresh for Armani and more alternative/subversive than some of the stuff people 1/3 his age are putting out

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

Such perfection in the execution and such integrity in the vision.
A really emotional collection by a master.
My favourite this season.

 

[jeanclaude]

Fall/Winter 1985-86. Because being rich these days means living in a never-ending 80s loop.

Perfection

 

[GivenchyAddict]

Sans faute !

A bit subdued but it’s still so stunning. Playing with tuxedo codes for womenswear is right up his alley… literally black tie. But I do know he (or his team) could have pushed it a bit more especially with the color black, the fabrics and silhouettes.

Mr. Armani missing the bow is bittersweet. It just reinforces the sad eventuality that he won’t be around forever so I’m glad to see his haute couture while we have him. To his credit he has built and incredibly well oiled machine which I doubt will have any bumps when the transfer happens and his team will keep on delivering like we’re used to.
