Giorgio is forecasting an easy summer. Catching on to the light breeze of the twenties that's blowing through fashion, he charted a course for the season using playful, nautical stripes as landmarks, guided by his career-long true north-the play of masculine and feminine styling.
Of course, Armani isn't one to take a sailor theme literally, even when he's using navy-and-white stripes. His distinctive hand shows in his taste for floppy, supple fabrics; and his small jackets and delicate layerings of sheer and opaque project the effortless, cheerful vibe that's becoming a main message of the season.
In his lightened-up mood Armani has come to terms with showing some skin, as with slouchy, midriff-baring pants and leggy little dresses (the standouts came with sequined stripes). And was that a sense of whimsy peeking through in the embellishments-the Schiaparelliesque starfish, crabs, and lobsters sprinkled on tanks and bags? The collection navigated that touch of surrealist humor, too, without sailing off course.
