Call of the Nomads

Text: Dariga Masenova

Giorgio Armani, with the Hypnotic Mastery, resurrects exciting moments of long-distance travels in memory of his summer collection. NOBODY SO WORKS WITH FABRICS. THE SHOW OF HIS REFINED CUTE COLLECTION OF ARMANI PRIVÉ BECAME A PART OF THE ONE NIGHT ONLY SCALE PROJECT, CONSISTING OF A GRAND DINNER AND OPENING OF THE ECCENTRICO EXHIBITION IN PARIS CENTER OF CEREUS.

After a rather “light” winter collection, Armani chose his favorite default color: deep, juicy blue, but in completely different variations. Armani poetically called the show Nomade. It is not surprising, because its basic concept is tied around his favorite ethnics and exoticism, which is often found in ready-to-wear shows. And who, no matter how nomads of all tribes and peoples, is familiar with the beauty and philosophy of the night sky?

The designer borrowed wide harem pants, floor skirts and almost bare feet from representatives of oriental cultures: the models appeared on the catwalk in flat sandals, and each attribute was a silk scarf, tied in the form of a turban.

Thin clavicles of girls were gracefully emphasized by curly cuts with Arabic-style appliques on single-breasted jacquard jackets. Stone-encrusted shawls, large bracelets and necklaces, repeating Afghan motifs and silhouettes of Indian national costumes with brocade skirts on one shoulder - only Armani, with his 39 years of experience in the fashion industry meter, could play so skillfully with difficult ethnic elements.

Guided by innate intuition, the designer diluted the undoubtedly feminine collection with borrowings from the men's wardrobe. Rigid graphics, presented in symmetrical stripes and a "cage" print, are against manual embroidery, exactly like strict ties. The key looks are made up of pajama suits of light textures such as gas fabrics and muslin.

The final chord of the show was the model in bustier dresses. It is a pity that the show was not attended by Armani's muse and trendsetter Cate Blanchett - perhaps she will choose something from this collection for her exits on the red carpet. After all, the designer introduced the “Armani woman” exactly the same: mysterious, bohemian, a little modest, but with conscious, mature beauty.
