Giorgio Armani RTW Fall 2012

Giorgio Armani RTW Fall 2012

There was plenty to see at Armani, which the designer dubbed “Easy Chic.” The refined tailoring provided the chic, he said before the show, with a flats-only approach for shoes delivering the ease. The clothes featured a strong men’s wear current, but rendered with a light hand; every ensemble was topped off by an audacious fedora, and vibrant orange and fuchsia ran throughout.

A single idea can sometimes inform every silhouette the designer chooses to create. In Giorgio Armani’s playful Emporio Armani show, it came via his new pants: slim-cut, cuffed and ending just at the knee, like knickers. He had them in nearly every exit, which could have easily resulted in a tricky moment, but they worked, mainly because Armani designed many charming clothes around them.
