Giorgio Armani, Zegna present fluid elegance for the next hot season as Milan Fashion Week wraps up
Associated PressMILAN — Milan Fashion Week opened and closed under a beating early summer sun. Zegna wrapped up four days of shows Monday with an outdoor event set among bales of raw linen behind Milan’s City Hall, allowing city workers a view out of their windows. Some highlights from the final day of Milan Fashion Week of mostly menswear previews for next spring and summer: ARMANI PRESENTS SIGNATURE ELEGANCE Giorgio Armani’s signature collection was meant to show the fashion public how the urban man ought to dress, even in the heat of summer. Armani defused the formality of the tailoring with linen, and by keeping jackets and blazers mostly unbuttoned, so a double-breasted jacket “is no longer a double-breasted jacket,’’ Armani said. ASPESI’S MILITANT BEAUTY U.S. designer Lawrence Steele’s design language for the Italian brand Aspesi is “militant beauty.” Aspesi is known for its classic aesthetic is more about timeless wardrobe building than presenting a collection.
