Giorgio Armani Menswear Fall-Winter 2008

The collection, titled Regal, embodies a formal elegance anchored in sartorial classicism. The ensembles – comprising suits, waistcoats and jackets finished with pocket squares – are cut in fluid, supple fabrics, with particular emphasis on velvet, which imparts depth and a refined lustre to the silhouettes. Satin shirts complete the line-up with smooth, light-catching surfaces, while outerwear in leather and fur introduces rich textures and an air of sophisticated authority.
