Giorgio Armani
MILAN, March 5, 2001

Giorgio Armani continued to play a game of opposites, firm in his belief that strength and femininity go hand in hand.Armani showed short blazers worn over fluid, lightweight trousers. Double-faced caban jackets were cut slightly off the shoulder to give them an informal air. Prince of Wales and striped overcoats hit the floor, emphasizing a fluid silhouette. Armani also showed small bodices paired with full, multitiered skirts and structured dress coats that billowed at the hem.
Eveningwear was an homage to Picasso's blue period, in varying shades of navy and shimmering with paillettes. Giant sequins glistened under layers of tulle, skirts were flounced and pleated, and raised embroidery decorated spaghetti-strapped tops.
