Giorgio Armani emphasized his signature juxtaposition of masculine/feminine for Emporio resort. Military references balanced the girly appeal of some pieces, like the epaulets and waist-cinching, thick leather belt with large golden buttons that embellished a drab green silk ruffled dress. In another charming contrast, a suited combo of elongated jacket and wide-leg pleated pants, crafted from a Prince of Wales fabric, was styled with a floral silk floral shirt.
While the lineup’s overall mood was one of sober, urban functionality, the designer did indulge in some decorative accents — such as the sweet little bows that trimmed the hems of cotton shorts, adding a playful fillip to their accompanying pinstriped top and jacket.
