Giorgio Armani
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
MILAN, June 23, 2008

The days when cruise collections were all about clothes for holidays and parties are long gone. The 30 looks in Giorgio Armani's latest ran a full gamut, from a reinterpretation of Armani's office-bound classic suit to a midnight blue tux. Draping was a theme: Tops were gathered to one side with a single button. The emphasis was on a long, fluid silhouette in soft, natural fabrics like linen and shantung. Pants were full enough to evoke the languorous loungewear of a thirties vedette. Calm and restrained as the collection was, there were still a few of the eccentric touches that Armani injects to keep things interesting for himself: a hit of color here, an abstract floral print there.
