That Celine jacket is stunning !!!!!!!! 😭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)

@kasper!
I wish Armani would make Armani Privé for men or something because this collection is just so stunning. It made relook at the Armani collections for men to see what I can buy.
