The
Emporio Armani woman for Spring/Summer 1999 is strong but sweet. She has
one eye on the trends and the other on the street and knows how to put
herself together in a stylish way without being a fashion victim.
She is young, fresh,
sophisticated in an informal way and plays
on contrasts - mixing sporty looks with more traditional styles with great
ease
Fabrics include shantung with either a
'flamed' or 'sable' effect; woven wools that are plain, checked or striped
in soft colours; shiny or mat men; plain georgette and chiffon printed
with brushstrokes or subtle graphic patterns.
Colours include sage greys, pewter and
'dust' tones, deep beige, golden yellow and aquamarine contrasting with
black and 'wisteria' green. Jackets fit like cardigans, hip length with
slim shoulders and narrow sleeves or fall to the knee like duster coats
worn over straight trousers with cuffs or a thin elastic trim Knee- length
dresses are put over narrow lightweight trousers
and the knitwear comes in shiny yarns
in the form of little tops, vests and bustiers. The main focus of the evening
wear is on light Indian trousers worn under dresses that feature prints
superimposed with floral embroidery.
On her feet, the Emporio Armeni woman
for Spring/Summer 1999 wears flat laceup shoes, tennis 'mules' or medium
heeled sandals. |
