He's a champ for doing the walk after all these years. Like, 90 yrs old? Legend.
Brad's relationship with Armani, and Demi going to the show- for sure, we'll see her in one of these looks next month.

The man can cut.

love the orientalism and of course the class, opulence, and exquisiteness, as always

yes the styling and even the clothes themselves are old lady, but dammit old ladies deserve to be fashion muses too! Filthy rich old ladies are the backbone of HC after all

Long, dated strange colour palette; and with some awful looks (those 3 looks with multicolored rhinestones as big as candies).

Yes, I know he is Armani and he is 90 y.o...but I don´t like it!

This is strong worded, I feel. It's our being used to modernity, so classics feel dated.
I don't think seeing a show video, or still would ever do the pieces justice.

Armani is an empire for a reason. Its customer has remainded and endured over time.

This is classic, while not feeling dated (for me).

We should all feel a little ashamed about this the things that are iconic silly words like brilliant genius fly to so many horrible collection nowadays. Everybody else in the game should feel ashamed.
This is absolutely pure masterful art charm pure decadence the art of embroidery mix with beautiful immaculate under bodies and underpinnings. Perfect color palette perfect styling absolutely brilliant show. The Colors at the end look like dresses with pieces of the sweetest candy Incorporated into them. Hes Is truly going out on top.

Ralph Rucci is that you?

Ralph Rucci is that you?

I tried to apply to Armani via Instagram...but they didn´t hire me! 😅

 

[jeremydante]

...but hear me out though.

Urging you to watch the show video, if you haven't - and with an open mind. @jeanclaude
The classic energy is there. You must take a second and/or third look. Video, not the stills.

Not my taste, thank you.

these are the clothes you wear to feel special and probably you'd wear it in very exlusive events not to show off. they are not loud but at the same time scream elegeance. that red pyjama looking top and pants are just delicious.

Can't wait to read the article of Angelo Flaccavento about this collection. Fun things is, Angelo said that Armani himself complimented the details of this coat

 

[fashionlov]

This collection makes all the other brands tremble. Every time I see an Armani Privé show, the other brands' ones seem so stupid and insignificant. Here I have to say that he really needs Del Moro or Brokaw...Imagine just one of those fabulous dresses on Mona Tougaard or Vittoria Ceretti

If possible, can you post it here? I like his articles, but they're behind a paywall on BOF, which I'm not subscribing to.

It's so interesting as the Armani crowd really seems to be the classiest and noticed how the peacocking is kept to a minimum amount. His offerings are not always my cup of tea, but it is always gorgeous, elegant, and well-made. I applaud him for staying so true to himself always.

HIs finale appearance greeting his clientele actually brought a tear: This man has taught, informed, and influenced the way that I view/consume/live with fashion even if I have moved on from his sensibility a long time ago, and in a sense, his world. But I will always appreciate that gilded world, even as an outsider looking in. The imagery, the designs, the branding is so organic here: Nothing contrived-- as unreal, even surreal as the women dressed in shimmering jewels of dreams as it may be. No reliance on current-day Supers; celebs; stunt casting; SM-baiting; styling tricks cuz all those trappings just seem shameful in the presence of him… Just the ultimate in luxury, refinement and exclusivity for those fortunate to live that life. That classic Chanel cadet jacket in pure pale crystal and jewels but look light as a feather, like a real mithril jacket. And I instantly thought of Hedi’s Celine crystal-embellished jacket in the similar Chanel cadet style— except Hedi’s crystal design is in the pattern of croc skin. Both jackets are equally, absurdly gorgeous, and for a very rarified world, but a very real world all the same. Both never seem to design for some phantom ideal that so many others are lost in. Rarely are any shows worth a rewatch, but like Hedi's final Celine womenswear show, I've rewatched this Armani show. It is emotional.

(FYI people, Jean Claude doesn’t like anyone and anything post-1999 LMFAO)

Already on ilsole24ore, full article in Italian Armani Privé compie 20 anni con allure lunare. Chanel in transizione colorata
Translated by Chat GPT if anyone want to read, it's just an overview, nothing special lol

Giorgio Armani, for the twenty-year anniversary of Armani Privé, showcases his collection at home: in the sumptuous halls of Palazzo Armani, the new headquarters in the city inaugurated a few months ago. The historic building, restored to its opulent past glory, provides the ideal backdrop for a collection that explores the theme of light with the multicultural verve and taste for exoticism that are unmistakably Armani.
The designer says: "This show coincides with the twenty years of Privé but is not intended to be a retrospective or a celebration. Instead, it is a renewed affirmation of everything Haute Couture means to me, which is the opportunity to unleash creativity while keeping in mind a real, authentic clientele who seeks out and wears these creations. Capturing light on the surfaces of the garments was the wonderful challenge of a collection with a lunar allure, rich but with a light touch that, for me, is always essential."
As seen last week in Milan, Armani confirms his radiant state of creative grace. Although he revisits themes and continents he has explored many times before, from Japan to India, this time he does so with a subtle linearity that touches on abstraction, offering something genuinely new and elegant.
