This season at Armani Privé, it was all about the pantsuit and Giorgio Armani is the man with the expertise on the made-to-measure version. The show was cast in monochrome with glinting highlights of silver, where the focus was set on the jackets with rounded pagoda shoulders. Armani was influenced by black-and-white movie heroines and set the show to forties movie soundtracks, but luckily the feel wasn't overtly retro. The collection touched so many bases with the black lace T-shirts fashioned in a grid pattern and placed under suits in black velvet or paillettes, skirtsuits, jet-beaded cocktail pieces, and of course long, slim evening dresses. The finale, though was "an adventurous step away from the predictable" with four silver and nude mesh crystal-embellished jumpsuits.
