Giorgio Armani Womenswear Spring-Summer 1998

The collection presents itself as a reflection on ease, understood as the opposite of exhibitionism and theatricality. The wardrobe features long, fitted jackets left open at the front, enhancing an elegant yet discreet line, paired with wide, flowing trousers that lend lightness and fluidity to movement.

The fabrics chosen—matte shantung, devoré silk with iridescent threads, and materials with a “liquid” appearance—gently and naturally envelop the body. Embroidery, concentrated primarily in eveningwear, covers the surfaces, altering their texture and lending a precious allure to the clean, linear shapes that define the entire collection.

This combination of lightness and refined detailing expresses an idea of understated elegance, imbued with studied naturalness, where every element contributes to creating an atmosphere of refined and sophisticated sobriety.
