Giorgio Armani Womenswear Spring-Summer 1998

The collection unfolds as a meditation on ease — conceived as the antithesis of exhibitionism and theatricality. The wardrobe features long, tailored jackets left open at the front, creating an elegant yet discreet silhouette, paired with wide, fluid trousers that lend movement a sense of lightness and grace.

The chosen fabrics — matte shantung, devoré silk interwoven with iridescent threads, and materials with a subtle, “liquid” sheen —  are softly and naturally draped around the body. Embroidery, concentrated mainly in the evening pieces, transforms the surfaces, enriching their texture and imbuing the clean, linear forms that define the collection with a quietly luxurious allure.

Together, these elements evoke an idea of understated elegance, infused with a considered naturalness — a harmony where every detail contributes to an atmosphere of refined and sophisticated restraint.
