Giorgio Armani now has his own cuddly little avatar, a teddy bear wearing glasses. It was stitched on the polo shirts in his Resort collection for Emporio. But that playful spirit was a red herring, because the clothes themselves were a sober evolution of the classic Armani debate: feminine versus masculine, structure versus fluidity.
Or perhaps it was not so much a versus as a plus. The way, for instance, that boy-cut jeans with floral embroidery were paired with a white poplin shirt and a black jacket. Or a cropped calfskin jacket—washed leather, vegetally dyed a dark blue—draped over an embroidered slipdress. One thing that is patently clear with Armani is that nothing is ever as gray-flannel straight as it seems. The hemlines in this collection were literally wavy. The precision of a laser-cut waistcoat was undercut by the petals embroidered all over. And there was the signature, subliminal sense of craft, as in a latticed leather jacket layered over the kind of smart tapered pants of which women would look to Armani.
