Milan Fashion Week: Giorgio Armani channels natural vibes with ‘Earth’ spring/summer 2020 show
On home turf, 85-year-old ‘King Giorgio’ kicked off the seasonal unveil with his trademark trouser suits, presenting short jackets with round collars and shoulders, exploring earthy tones and floral prints
Giorgio Armani paid tribute to nature in the spring collection for his main line, using earthy tones, floral prints and intricate embroideries in the Milan Fashion Week presentation.
It is a metaphor of femininity but also the representation of a gradual lightening and a link with nature’s elements, filtered down through creativity and imagination
The 85-year-old designer, affectionately called “King Giorgio” in his native Italy, kicked off the “Earth” spring/summer 2020 show, on September 21, with his trademark trouser suits, presenting short jackets with round collars and shoulders.
In an intimate courtyard setting, models then strutted in slim or loose trousers, sometimes silky with zips, flowing or slit skirts and loose organza parkas that had bows at the front.
The initial earthy tones in brown, dark blue and grey lightened to paler blues seen on suits, waistcoats and sleeveless tops, and the collection ended in light pink and grey shimmering evening wear.
