Giorgio Armani
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
NEW YORK, June 30, 2009
By
Giorgio Armani continued the exploration of eighties style that he began in earnest with his Fall collection, except this time around he did it with bright colors and bold geometric prints instead of his accustomed shades of gray. It made for a lively change of pace that might win him some new converts, and at the very least, these clothes should appeal to his many fans' youthful sides. It's hard to resist the allure of a purple polka-dot print mini-caftan and its associations with the Italian Riviera and other glamorous destinations. But for those not quite ready to don an electric blue shorts suit or a bustier dress with a panel of fireworks sequins on the front, there were some pinstriped pantsuits in the mix. Take note, though—the pinstripes are pink.
