The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, but life goes on as usual, with fashion weeks being held in full swing, as if the world has entered a parallel universe. As a highly respected top designer, Mr. Armani has chosen to showcase the Giorgio Armani fashion show in a “silent” manner amidst the world’s turmoil, demonstrating respect for the Ukrainian people. He becomes the first fashion designer to make a statement about the Ukrainian conflict during fashion week. In an interview backstage, he said, “I believe that clothes appear more powerful in silence.”
Models entered the scene in silence, wearing a series of sleek and elongated silhouettes that swayed with their steps. In the tranquil space, elegant lines and contours, clean-cut tailoring, and exquisite craftsmanship perfectly filled the sense of loneliness.
The collection is mainly in black, white, blue, and silver, with occasional accents of pink and green; the fabrics are soft, with a lot of velvet used, paired with flowing trousers or skirts, exuding a sense of gentleness.
The suit jacket has always been the brand’s specialty. This season, the women’s tailcoat is deliberately designed with a shawl collar structure, giving the appearance of slipping off the model’s shoulders; the exquisitely tailored suit, with clean lines, reveals the strong and capable side of women.
As for evening gown design, it adheres to a luxurious and elegant style, focusing on shiny elements, embellished with crystals, beads, and silver embroidery details, exquisitely crafted, echoing this season’s “Signs of Light” theme.
