Giorgio Armani launches new S/S2013 line, Kaleidoscope

Variations, nuances, juxtapositions. The world of armani is multifaceted, as if observed through a kaleidoscope that separates, refracts and illuminates.

It is ingenious in its use of shapes, fabrics, and its quality of workmanship. Subtle yet profound alterations create soft, naturally deconstructed fits, rendered fluid through the use of gossamer silk and organza.

Light overcoats and short, beautifully tailored jackets fit like a glove, and are paired with flowing trousers, measured to perfection above the ankle, or shorts that suddenly bring the legs into sight.

The low shoes are masculine yet tapered, the silver heels providing a shimmer of light with every step, while the high shoes come with rhinestone-studded heels. black, turquoise and grey are the main colours, accompanied by jade and light blue softened with white, brightened also in daywear by transparent yarns, crystal touches, and reflections.

The sparkle is accentuated for the evening, with a constellation of stars on a navy blue background. Lightness is key, always, and with an added touch of nonchalance.
