Giorgio Armani Men's Collection Spring/Summer 2011

GIORGIO ARMANI. The classic tonalities of this extraordinary Italian brand, such as beige, grey and black, are enlivened by bright accent colors such as yellow and green found on pochettes, ties, sunglasses and belts: after all, it’s summer indeed! As usual, Armani’s collection was all about the jacket: the low-buttoning and double-breasted models placed a new emphasis on the chest, while Giorgio Armani toyed with buttons – shiny – and lapels – trimmed or shawl-collared for daywear. What he wants to create is an effect of lightness, underlined as well by soft trousers. He jokily paired a gingham jacket with pants in a Prince of Wales check, substituted shirts with gilets, as a good alternative under a perforated leather jacket with printed or embroidered geometrical motifs and, finally, matched blue jackets with shirts in the same shade.
