Giorgio Armani Womenswear Fall-Winter 1980

The women's line is based on wide jackets with asymmetric lapels, worn over short trousers in suede, velvet or rough-textured wool, an interesting contrast between soft shapes and structured materials. Close-fitting leather jackets with asymmetrical fastenings further emphasise this quest for bold, modern lines.

Pants are offered in classic tapered versions or with side pleats, accompanied by skirts with lapels, adding movement and variety to the silhouette. Fur, present in garments such as the slim coat in amethyst mink and the trench coat with graphite beaver belt, is an element of luxury and sophistication, also playing with texture and colour.

Fabrics range from mega geometric stripes to diagonal patterns, checks and tweed, with a colour palette that includes saffron, khaki, jade, cinnamon, China blue, black and white, as well as neutral greys and natural tones, giving colour variety while maintaining an overall harmony.

Evening wear is distinguished by black fitted jackets with side fastenings, black and white striped skirts gathered at the waist, and soft trousers combined with classic jackets, waistcoats, shirts and bow ties, mixing elegance and innovation in a contemporary interpretation of women's formal dress code.
