Grass is Always Greener

Favorite Look

A very difficult color palette to tackle, could not be done by anyone other than Armani. Style.com reports that the theme for Armani Prive this season was metamorphosis. It is appropriate then that there was a snake-like undertone to the show. The textures and of course coloring screamed snake, and slithering, giving us a finally with which a butterfly emerged (wait that's a caterpillar, well you get the idea). 

There was mesh on top of fabric just to bring home that reptile quality. Figure hugging garments gave that s-shape curve. There were some great pieces that will no doubt be on a red carpet soon, but she is a brave woman that chooses to don this color. Big risk, but great payoff

Giorgio Armani

There was a strong focus on different shades and monochrome colors in true Armani style. At times I thought I was looking at a Calvin Klein show but the prints brought me back down to reality. A strong oriental influence was prevalent with the tied at waistbands, and tight at the ankles dresses. The exploration of fabrics was particularly interesting. 

This season the designer focused on movement of the garments, interesting and innovative ways of sculpting the material and the focus of the light and the dark. Would be interesting to note whether or not the designer had a long trip in the far east recently...
