I’ve always loved Armani. The clothes he designed have been an epitome of style and even the way the name slipped off the tongue felt elegant. That elegance, however, was often very substantial, grown-up to the point of being mature, something that a woman of a certain age would reach for whenever in need of looking her very best and most beautiful, say, the Oscars.
Thus, loving Armani felt intimidating until now. Then I saw the Pre-Fall 2014. It made me smile.
Still elegant, sharp and smart, the collection had an element of youthfulness about it. Strangely, the clothes didn’t change and still felt very Armani, but the feeling they gave was different.
I may not be able (or want) to wear a pink jacket just yet, but I will definitely be borrowing the shapes and ideas from this collection and the three outfits in particular. Absolutely adore them!
