Emporio Armani Presents Its New Autumn/Winter 2023/24 Women's Collection: Circus Of Life
Luxferity, 01.03.2023
Just like an Elizabethan theatre, when staging the everyday, Giorgio Armani consistently suggests clothes that bring out the person, not the character. With Emporio Armani, this style credo takes on an eclectic, urban inflection, tinged with impalpable humour. For the next autumn/winter season, the irony is subtle but evident, like the dazzling smile of the model whose giant picture acts as the backdrop to the catwalk, summing up the spirit and attitude of the collection.
Small hats, asymmetrically buttoned jackets, and evening tops with grosgrain straps are reminiscent of stage clothes, filtered through the Armani eye. The collection is svelte and light: short hems set the mood, paired with boots that give everything a graphic tone, alternated with flowing trousers. The silhouette is precise and snappy, with distinct shoulders and waist defined by high bodice belts. The interplay of masculine and feminine is a clear dna trait, expressed in plays of volumes and textures, with shiny surfaces mixed with mohair, canvas, and textured velvets, in an amalgam of blacks, whites, and greys with touches of intense magenta and metallic radiance. Day and evening are interchangeable, in both clothes and accessories: embossed velvet bomber jackets, large shoppers covered in sequins, a shirt collar as a necklace on the evening dress. Just like the theatre, everything comes back around within the ring, with the emergence of an unusual classicism.
