Armani Privé

“This Armani vision has not changed radically from his earlier Privé collections. But the clothes are more relaxed. From a coat in dawn mauve to a dress with a stardust of embroidery, the collection was as wearable as it was poetic.” —Suzy Menkes, International Herald Tribune

“The cut of the pants, fluid and based in menswear without being mannish, served as a reminder of the revolution in soft tailoring for women that Armani set in motion in the eighties. It’s not that this show had a retrospective feel about it — just that the timing of that reintroduction is serendipitously in sync with the way a new generation happens to be feeling.” —Sarah Mower, Vogue.com
