So I've checked out all the AW 2014 Couture collections that have been shown so far, and I'll be honest I haven't been a fan of either Chanel or Dior, which is a rarity for me, normally I love anything even remotely associated with Lagerfeld. Well I guess you can't love everyone all the time. I just peeped the Giorgio Armani couture collection, and I was actually surprised by how much of it I liked. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it was breaking any boundaries but it was very pretty. Subtly sexy as Armani collection always are, the colour palette was mainly nude with a sprinkling of black at the beginning. Beading, sequins...I love all kinds of embellishment and Armani went all out on this collection! My top picks have to be:
My one criticism has to be that although I appreciate the relaxed fits on the separates and the flowing cuts on the dresses, a lot of the suits/tailored items looked like they were designed for a stylish grandmother, something from the 80s. I don't know what it is about the items, but the combination of neutral tones and a loose fit seems more appropriate to a fashion conscious 50/60 year old, though I think that if you separated the items they would become a lot more wearable.
For a couture show I always expect something outrageously unwearable, at least one piece that screams unapologetic indulgence and I don't think Armani really did that with this collection but I predict at least a couple of these dresses will make their way to the red carpet, probably on Anne Hathaway considering how much she loves Armani. Either way, overall not a ground breaking show or anything in my books, but pretty all the same. Just nothing that I'd wear myself...maybe a couple of the blazers?
