Armani’s Femme Fatales
Italian fashion king Giorgio Armani’s label, which as de Luxe reported this month, has hired US actress Megan Fox for a sexy ad campaign. presented an all-black collection in Milan on Saturday, inspired by film noir crime dramas.
Models wore black, peaked caps pulled down low over their eyes, or dark glasses, and short, tailored jackets with concealed buttons – all designed to convey the secretive world of “international espionage” .
True to film noir’s visual style, a play on light and shadow accentuated silhouettes: sharply cut jackets and coats were softened with ruffles at the neck or puffed-out sleeves, from elbow to wrist. Sleek jumpsuits, satin culottes or cigarette-thin trousers puffed at the thigh were worn with vertiginous silver heels or with flat pumps. I’m sure the latter would be preferable for spies wishing to sneak up on their prey undetected.
A delectable collection set to bring an air of mystery to the masses or just a bevy of beautiful women wearing yet more black? We’ll leave that for you to decide….
Emporio Armani is available in Mall of the Emirates at the Emporio Armani store and in The Dubai Mall at Armani Dubai.
