Time to reach for the razor: Giorgio Armani says legs are back.
The Milanese master of understated elegance wants his legions of female
fans to get a little showy next summer. And a perfect pair of pins will be
the must-have accessory for wearing the 2016 collection from Emporio
Armani, his younger and more affordable line.
Unveiled in Milan on Friday, it is unusually rich in a range of what
the
company described as “sunburnt shades” — flesh pink, cinnamon and peach —
at
the expense of its signature grey-beige “greige”.
The collection is also packed with floaty, diaphanous materials designed
to
flutter and flatter in seaside breezes and complement the colour palette.
Minis, Bermudas and cut-off shorts are cut just above mid-thigh and are
frequently paired with asymmetric jackets and dresses, tailored to the waist
at the front but featuring long tails.
Next year’s Emporio woman “shows her legs or reveals them through
veils and transparencies,” Armani himself said in his notes on the
collection.
Accessories extend the theme of a woman ready for a bit of adventure
with a
good-to-go set of bowling bags, backpacks and peep-toe booties.
English pop group Black’s eighties hit “It’s a Wonderful Life” resonated
round the Teatro Armani to drive home the “time to enjoy living” theme.
Blumarine struck a similar attitude with a mix-and-match collection
celebrating offbeat originality.
Designer Anna Molinari said she had taken her inspiration from the
kind of
woman who “follows the rules dictated by instinct, not by conventions.”
The kind of woman who can throw a bomber jacket over an embroidered
jacket,
as Molinari did here, or match sturdy canvas slacks with the most delicate
of
silk blouses.
As at Emporio Armani, many of the silhouettes were airy and elongated
and
the diaphanous envelope was pushed even further with a string of see-through
tops. For Molinari, it seems, it is not only legs that need to be on show
next
summer. (AFP)
