Giorgio Armani’s team—his whole crew of couture staff and seamstresses, transported from Milan to his Paris studio on the Rue Lauriston—are polishing up the collection he’ll show tomorrow night. Take that almost literally. The light-refracting properties of jewels (rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and diamonds inspired the collection he’ll send down the runway in a venue located off the Place Vendôme—the heart of the French jewelry establishment—on Monday.
The color and cut of precious gems have been conceptually transposed into ultramodern iridescent surfaces, slick 3-D constructs, and a set of domed Perspex headpieces designed by Philip Treacy. As an opener to the haute couture shows in Paris, the notion of precious stones makes a suitably sumptuous allusion in a season which reaches for the ultimate extravagance fashion can offer to both private clients as well as contenders for upcoming BAFTAs and Academy Awards. What to watch, though, in terms of the general shape-shifting dialog of trend? The way things are edging toward streamlined layering: a long top over a skinny pant. After pre-fall’s stirrings in the direction of tunics and leggings, there will be more to think about how we’ll want to realign proportions from Mr. Armani.
