Mauve en mouvement. Yes, because mauve is the
shade that invaded the catwalk at Giorgio Armani Pirivè’s Spring Summer 2016
show, during the Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris. From lilac to wisteria,
to the most intense violet purple, attenuated by black, with grey and metallic
glaring effects, thanks to the ton-sur-ton sequins; mauve is the real
protagonist of this collection, deliberately inspired to the Forties’ divas,
but that celebrates the femininity of today’s women. Fluid gowns, fluctuating
skirts and pants which seem moved by a soft breeze. Frills that accentuate
thrust and freedom and innervate long pants, bustier dresses, tops and gowns.
Short jackets to match with flounced or precious-waves embroidered gowns. PVC
and crystals tops become voluptuous spiral drawings directly onto the naked
skin. And again, tulle mini-dresses with maxi sequin ruches and long plissé
organza gowns.
Colours are, as mentioned
before, mostly characterized by all of the shades of mauve and black; while the
fabrics used in the collection are tulle, organza, silk, sequin, pearls,
crystals, chiffon, PVC, crinoline, lurex and crocodile. This kind of clothes
vary, according to the shape of the piece and silhouette: parkas and over-pea-coats
are worn with long pants, with frills or small shorts; jackets are short and
matched with maxi skirts or gowns. Evening dresses are composed by bustier and
flounced gowns, or choose A-shaped silhouettes. To complete the outfits, PVC
strap-banded shoes to wear with tulle jet-embroidered socks; mesh ankle boots;
maxi jewellery with big colourful precious stones; micro bucket-handbags and
crocodile handbags; small jewel-minaudières; nacre/mother-of-pearl coloured
glasses.
Informal, professional and formal,
three styles of different dresses in a single collection, but all perfectly
balanced. Only Armani can create this magic, and it’s no wonder that Hollywood
actresses fly to Paris to take part to his shows. From the short frilled skirts
matched with shirt jackets, till the evening gowns, Giorgio Armani Privè’s show
is a pure marvel, between the shades of the clothes and the fabrics: it’s
definitely clear, that the long dresses and gowns are the centrepiece, of the
whole collection; and since next month there will be the Oscar night, again,
it’s no wonder if we will see some of these clothes walking the red carpet.
All the shorts and bermuda shorts with precious fabrics are the luxurious yet
informal style of the youthful woman that wears Armani, then there are all the
delicate wisteria-shades dresses, which are perfect also for any formal
occasion, as rites or ceremonies. Amazing are the transparent-fabrics pants, as
well as the silk jackets matched to wide and black skirts. Magnificent is the
lurex-knit grey overall to wear with a black satin jacket. And at the end of
the show, wide skirted long black or white gowns and feather-light-seeming
single-shouldered evening dresses. Giorgio
Armani Haute Couture’s SS16 show in Paris is one of those destined to take a
seat in our memories and never leave. King Giorgio enchants anybody with the
charming pastel shades of his creations. Suits, dresses, gowns, tops, shirts, bermuda shorts, coats and all the
other Haute Couture pieces are declined in an extraordinary palette that gleans
from the delicate mauve shades. The feminine elegance dresses itself of
incomparable romanticism with the looks of the brand, impalpable and seductive
in their light see-through fabrics.
At Paris Fashion Week’s Couture catwalk shows, Giorgio
Armani brought on set an amazing collection, hosted with thunderous applauses.
Between two wings made by the viewers’ seat, models walked down the runway
enveloped by thin layers of organza and silk, in looks enlivened by romantic
frills, and illuminated by gracious mauve glares. Once again, the inspiration
for this collection seems to be oriental, as well as last year’s Haute Couture
line. Bamboo and nature themes, though, leave place to a colour very much
beloved in Orient, absolute protagonist of the show. The pastel shades of
colours, a very delicate version of lavender and wisteria, dominated the mostly
monochromatic Haute Couture show. Perhaps it is not a colours that anyone could
wear, but what is sure is that it bestows sublime beauty to the sartorial
creations of the Maison.
Front row
special guests are Miroslava Duma, Olga Kurylenko, Juliette Binoche, Giuliano
Pisapia, Gwei Lun Mei, Kyle Eastwood, Isabelle Huppert, Max Benitz, Giuseppe
Tornatore, Iggy Azalea and Bianca Brandolini D'Adda. While the daywear remains
an Armani-style classic, for the evening the couture dresses itself with its
usual elegance, in order to reach the perfect princess-effect with embroidered
clothes and single-shoulders with tulle layering. Hair also play a big game in
this collection. Armani chose a precise style, proposed on all of the looks. A
soft waved 40’s bob cut, exhibited in various lengths: from under the chin, to
the shoulders. The hair colour is definitely dark with a line positioned in the
middle of the head, centred.
«Couture, as we know, is
all about the craft, and the most explicit way of
showing that off is through eveningwear because it dazzles and it shines of
expertise, time, and knowledge and it belongs to an extravagant world that not
all that many of us get to inhabit. Armani Privèis all about that world, and if you
thought you had seen all the possible variations and interpretations of a gown,
you're wrong. Mr. Armani will have another up his sleeve, and then
some more too. But where couture so easily lends itself to a notion of Cinderella
and fairytale dresses, Armani wanders along slightly more classic and
conservative realms, his more an old-world Hollywood, a point he compounded
this evening as Veronica Lake waves accompanied every look as they wafted down
the catwalk. Because that is exactly what happened (and happens) at Armani,so light and delicate were the
offerings. It all shimmered and sparkled, as it always does and as it always
should. At every turn, there was an apparent sense of youthfulness among the
ruffles and flounces and intricate beadwork. If you're an Armani customer,
this will have suited you just fine.».
