Rumor has it that Giorgio Armani’s latest couture collection was dedicated to the late Vogue Italia editor, Franca Sozzani, who passed away at the end of the year of 2016.

Black ruled the runway, as the models showcased toque caps covered with a veil, as sign of mourning. Jackets and skirts dominated the collection in pretty icy pastels, also there was hint of fuchsia used in a bird feather top and a bubble cape, both paired with skirts. One-shouldered gowns displayed confetti-like embroidery, and an outstanding artful Armani piece was an over-sized floral mermaid cut gown with a touch of modern-chic.

One must say that a Gothic aesthetic filled the venue, from the decoration to the abstracted headgear to the models Boldini eyes, black lace and creeping velvet fabrics. Over the years, Armani has proved his love for surrealism, which certainly added some uniformity to this particular collection.
