Giorgio Armani Womenswear Fall-Winter 2006

The collection centers on a petite, defined silhouette shaped by precisely tailored garments. The bolero jackets, short and close-fitting, sculpt contained shoulders and emphasize the bust, while the bias-cut skirts enhance the fluidity of movement. Coats, featuring flared volumes and raised collars, create a tension between structural rigour and soft formality.

The ornamentation draws inspiration from oriental imagery, visible in the prints and inlays evoking large ginkgo biloba leaves. These botanical motifs adorn luxurious materials such as silk, velvet, and fur, establishing a play of contrasts and harmonies between textures and surfaces. The material choices accentuate tactile richness, while the velvet and fur amplify the collection’s sensorial and opulent dimension.

The eveningwear dominates the collection, marked by an abundance of long dresses with intricate craftsmanship. Jeweled embroidery and voluminous draping endow these pieces with a dramatic stage presence reminiscent of classic Hollywood iconography. Explicit references to lavish parties, timeless luxury, and classic film divas guide the collection toward a sophisticated aesthetic steeped in glamour and nostalgia.
