For Fall Winter 2008-09 Giorgio Armani’s signature collection was simply ‘regal’.
In his seventies and with assurance that a veteran designer of his age has, Mr. Armani disregarded what others were doing and followed his instinct and did his own thing.
In a collection that harked on old Hollywood glam, Mr. Armani sent gentlemen down the runway in tailored looks with fedoras on head and gloves in hand.
Three piece suits and quilted velvet blazers were made relevant and modern for today. The nostalgia of a by-gone era was subtlety implied and glam came through without the tacky glitz.
Still atop his game Mr. Armani made a statement at the end with a red carpet segment writer’s strike be damned. Since there wasn’t a red carpet, or even a show, at the recent Golden Globe announcements, Mr. Armani bought the red carpet to him as his gentlemen escorted ladies down the runway.
MORE PICS AFTER THE JUMP.
