Paris: Only a few living designers can execute a couture show where almost every look glistens as much with classic timelessness as it does with innovation.
Fashion legend Giorgio Armani, 78, is one of them.
Proof was Armani Prive's spring-summer 2013 show on Tuesday: a finely balanced affair contrasting the classic with the exotic.
In 54 looks, the designer tastefully combined luxurious materials —like Mikado silks, clean satins, organzas and silk jacquards — alongside Africa-style patterns, geometric zigzags and bold color like saffron yellow, ruby red and orange.
