Milan Fashion Week: Giorgio Armani

The Italian fashion industry may have been rocked by the economic downturn harder than any other fashion capital in the world. So, lots of eyes are on the forty plus designers that will be showcased during the upcoming days.

The shows started with big and fabulous names like Dolce and Gabbana & Giorgio Armani. And fabulous they were (with lots of glitz and glam on the D&G runway…including a Madonna linked boy toy sighting a la Jesus Luz).

Milan Fashion Spring/ Summer 2010 may be focused on menswear, but just because we’re ogling at the stunning bodies of the male models doesn’t mean I’m not taking notes on what I may be wearing come next year at this time. Giorgio Armani’s models strutted their stuff down the Italian runway with female bombshells as well and they were as equally as fashionable and stunning as their male counterparts.

Are those glasses from/inspirited by a pair that Armani picked up from American Apparel? Their so..I don’t know. Just not my style. High fashion though. The almost purple/blue color that accents the female model’s outfit is spot on. I love it on those heels and the sleeves of her shirt. The eyeshadow is a bit much, but…it is the runway and anything goes on the runway! I love that skirt! I almost want to run out and buy a silky white skirt and a button up jacket and wear it to work…by itself. Except that probably would be completely inappropriate.

Do you remember that episode of Friends where Ross wears a pink shirt and he insists on calling it salmon instead of pink? This shirt reminds me of that episode. Only I’m not even sure what color to call the shirt that the male model is wearing. He’s a brave one! Love, love, love the whole outfit the girl is wearing. From top to bottom I wish I could have the outfit in my hands right now. I love the flow of the top and how soft the pink is. The contrast of the soft pink and the dark navy are amazing. The heels look fun too!

New cocktail dress..check. New heels…check. Hot date to the cocktail part…double and triple check. I love the detail of the dress. I bet it’s super heavy on. It probably weighs as much as the model herself. But, it’s still a beautiful dress! I love the purple clutch. Where can I find one in that purple?
