Giorgio Armani.

Boring. Typically Beautiful, but Just BORING! Snoozefest! Armani's Fall 2014 Collection was all the things that make an Armani Collection Wonderful and Bless him for it, But those said same things also make his collections as predictably similar as the Tides going in and out. The one thing that Armani did prove to most Glorious effect in this show was that Citron Green and Pale Grey are MIRACULOUSLY Beautiful paired together.

Armani called his collection "Fade To Grey" And, of all things Unsurprising, Grey was the major colour of the collection, If not for the Green, The ONLY Colour of the collection. Yes, There was some Black in there as well, But squint hard enough and even it could look like a Deep, Dark, Charcoal! There were Armani's Typical Laser Precise Suits and Blazers and Jackets, Some equally Lovely coats and all manner of Dresses and Skirts and Pants to fill out a Wardrobe. But that was Honestly, The Beginning and The End of it all. Anything in the way of Innovation or The Unexpected was left to the pretty thin combining of Green and Grey.

Some pieces were worth the whole endeavour, A Flud Citron Green Sleeveless dress worn over slim Grey Pants was a Success as was the Pale Citron Strapless gown that closed the show. Armani never fails, exactly. He just sometimes (Most TIMES!) relies on the Formulaic. It is becoming increasingly apparent that Armani is either Unable or Unwilling to Budge from the Foxhole of comfort he has dug deeply for himself. It's Vexing, because we all know he still has innovation in him, The sad point is that he is becoming increasingly like Yves Saint Laurent was in the last decade or more, Just a Recycler of past glories in new guises...

That might keep him rich, But it won't keep Him relevant!










That's All.
