In their words...
GIORGIO ARMANI PRIVE’
Nature’s gift to itself. An irresistible transformation into something new and surprising, with garments that reveal an unexpected sensuality.
Unusual colours like chartreuse yellow, underlying thread that runs through the entire collection, are also used for the tulle lining that replicates every segment, every element of the garment.
Swarovski micro crystals light up net jackets, revealing tantalising details of the body, or completely cover jackets, tunics and vests.
Spiral cuts wrap around the body like a liana: an exercise in workmanship and millimetric accuracy in design and execution, transforming these evening gowns into a rare example of savoir faire.
Embroideries with minuscule cannettes, rounded sequins, and crystals, give body and unexpected three-dimensional form to dresses with natural prints. Ultra-embroidered constructed jackets are thrown casually over the shoulder.
The metal heels of sculpturesque shoes and the spiral ribbon of the Philip Treacy headdress entwine like twisted branches, standing out against the stiffened net hat, reminiscent of a wind-blown headscarf.
