"When I create, I think of women I can meet anywhere, and not between sexual excitement and intellectualism. And I'm tired of seeing crazy women walking around Via Monte Napoleone in their underwear, transformed into objects of desire: 50 percent of men may love them, but the other 50 don't. I design clothes for women who have a face and not just a body”. This is how Giorgio Armani presented his latest creations on the catwalk in Milan to close Fashion Week. The designer's effort on the catwalk was a gesture of dedication and passion for a job and for women. Opening the show was a historical top from the 1980s, Gina Di Bernardo. Armani wanted her for her pristine beauty but also for the sentiment. "She's a beautiful person," he said. In Armani's dresses, "winter flowers" are laid and embroidered everywhere on velvet and satin, bouclé and lace, chiffon and knit; they enliven blacks, blues and dark greens. The silhouette is long and thin, and skirts and dresses and sleeves open flared to create movement and lightness. On the feet always flat shoes, sneakers or boots or ballet flats, to never change attitude: confident and careful.
