The veteran designer, affectionately called
"King Giorgio" in his native Italy, presented plenty of hot pink
and purple creations, high-waisted trousers and chunky jewellery
in the autumn/winter 2021-2022 collection called "In the mood
for pop".
In a video presented at the virtual Milan Fashion Week on
Thursday, models wore wide-leg trousers with suspenders, velvet
jumpsuits and round-shouldered jackets and coats, some with
boule buttons, others with shiny patterns.
Against a backdrop of the brand's name lit up in colourful neon
signs, models strutted down the catwalk to the sound of club
music.
Black outfits had flashes of hot pink and purple appearing on
jumpers, jackets, trousers, gloves and necklaces.
The 86-year-old put prints and embroidery on black dresses.
Black evening gowns came in velvet or shimmered with sequins.
For men, there were loose trouser suits in black and grey,
chunky knits and relaxed casual wear.
Trousers were turned up at the bottom and blazers came without
collars. For the evening, Armani presented black velvet suits.
Milan Fashion Week is a virtual event this season with designers
sharing videos of their presentations on a digital platform
instead of hosting the usual buzzing catwalk shows due to
COVID-19 restrictions.
Armani will present his main Giorgio Armani line on Saturday.
