Match imaginatively, mix daringly, team adventurously, experiment freely. Welcome to the bazaar where freedom of expression and the enjoyment of strong contrasts rule. A cocktai
l dress glides gracefully under a mannish office jacket. Alternatively a knitwear jacket, piped in leather, appears more fluid over trousers in silk cadis. A petite jacket in super soft purple nappa leather is worn with a knit skirt. Mixing up pieces with stylish originality produces stunning results, for a look that throws convention to one side. The elegance of this approach is quintessential Armani with couture overtones, evident in the use of flounces, significant collars, and reclaimed fabrics like bouclé and chenille, which emphasise the special construction of the outerwear. Supremely feminine, this collection rejoices in the contrast between classic masculine textiles (wool, knit, flannel) and the pared down cut of the jackets. The base colours – black, blue and grey – are lit up by notes of green, purple, coral pink, orange, Indian pink and ruby red, as well as patterns that range from polka dots to tartans, always softly blurred.
