The Italian designer, whose creations are worn
by royalty and Hollywood stars, sent out models in tiered black
tulle dresses, elegant jackets with added sheen and sheer tops
with flower details.
Models in floral-printed jackets and blue jodhpur-style pants
cut from iridescent fabrics strutted down the runway, while
others showed off puffy tops or jackets, covered in pink tulle
ribbon bows by the dozens.
An awards ceremony is never far off, and Armani offered a
selection of glamorous dresses, slender or voluminous, silky or
velvety, strapless or covered in sequins, in colors ranging from
Barbie pink to deep blue.
At the end of the show, Armani, almost 88, barely emerged from
the darkness for his customary bow.
Paris Fashion Week, which runs through Thursday with shows by
Balenciaga, Jean Paul Gaultier and Fendi, is a prestigious
showcase for a select group of fashion houses whose clothes are
meticulously hand-sewn by highly skilled artisans.
While haute couture accounts for a small proportion of sales for
luxury brands, it is a major marketing driver for the industry.
