The models at his October show in Milan, looking almost identical in short, dark bobs, wore suspenders for daytime and nighttime to show a relaxed attitude. They never abandoned a sense of luxury, says the designer. There's a lot of trousers.
Skirts are just above the knee.
I've also done Bermuda shorts. They're cut on the bias to give them a lot of movement, and they're also very light. Armani pairs high heels with the Bermuda shorts, but matches flats with eveningwear. Beads adorn many of the evening clothes, giving them a shiny look. Makeup is sophisticated, emphasizing the eyes against a pale skin.
