.:. MFW | Emporio Armani Spring 2012 RTW.:.

Black and white design, which was named by Giorgio Armani as Neodesign, for his Emporio collection.   You might assume from this that Armani wanted to smooth out human individuality so the focus fell squarely on the character of the clothes. However, his vision was so cool and muted that the overriding impression was of an icy, Metropolis-like uniformity, despite a finale that married one model in a black pantsuit to another in a skirt of shimmering crystal.
 Seams were outlined in black, which added a curious two-dimensional quality to the clothes. There were trompe l'oeil details, like the waistcoat back on a jacket. There was also a shimmering glamour in the way sequins were used. It wasn't, in fact, so much a future that was being explored as an out-of-time moment that synthesized the then, the now, and the still to come. And when it worked, it had its own chilly allure.

Emporio Armani | Menswear Fall 2011

                          

 

 

     

The fashion week in Milan, Emporio Armani latest show was opened with Golf parade. The gray and taupe colours where the main features of the Fall 2011 collection. The main factor was the coat, replacing Armani's signature jacket as the foundation for Fall. Unstructured, slim-line, occasionally paired with a waistcoat, it looked very well in a mid-calf length, like the camel topper that casually closed with a single button. Also the soft cardigans, leather harness-cum-waistcoat, which was actually a pretty effective—even sexy—way to define the male form.
