EMPORIO ARMANI WOMENSWEAR FW2425

Capturing a chromatic sensation to translate it into shape, superficial movement or flash of light: this is how this Emporio Armani collection was born, a tribute to a luminous night sky, quilted with stars and ruled by a shining moon. The palette is cold and vibrant: black dominates, alongside shades of mauve, ultra-violet, jade green, and grey, which sweep through the winter sky when the sun has set. Good morning, night! In this scenario, a typically Armani woman moves with the instinctive freedom of Emporio: She wears trousers under the billowing dress that is a shirt to her, she rediscovers the coat with its ample and enveloping shapes, a fabric or crocheted waistcoat; she wears jumpsuits and loose trousers that close at the bottom. The dark colours are an invitation to play with textures: Shiny cire, washed and matt wools, compact and shiny wools, and then the three-dimensionality of textured jacquards and multi-coloured faux fur knit. The silhouette is enveloping, with prominent shoulders. The journey culminates in the evening in a blaze of metallic reflections, embroidered stars and moons, and rhinestone chains. The whirlwind of stardust is accompanied by flat shoes, bags either large and capacious or small design objects, bijoux as decorative touches of light, and nocturnal maxi-flowers pinned to the lapel.
