Giorgio Armani F/W 2012- Milan Fashion Week

Runway Review: Shorts seem to be on Mr Armani's mind come fall as they made a more sophisticated appearance on his namesake runway. Peppered with saturated color and deluxe tweaks here & there, confidently styled looks were both 'modern eccentric' and evocative of untouchable, yet approachablly easy glamor. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Giorgio Armani Fall 2012 In their words: THE MODERN WOMAN LOVES TO DRESS IN ANDROGYNOUS AND MASCULINE CLOTHES, YET SHE DOESN’T WANT TO SACRIFICE FEMININE SUBTLETY AND LIGHTNESS. SHE APPRECIATES CLASSIC ELEMENTS LIKE TAILORING AND SEEKS ECCENTRICITY FOR ITS MODERN FEEL. GIORGIO ARMANI DRAWS THESE QUALITIES INTO A COLLECTION WHOSE UNMISTAKEABLE HALLMARK IS THE MEETING OF CONTRADICTORY OPPOSITES. IMAGINE SLENDER, YET NOT SNUG, PANTS IN GREY PRINCE OF WALES, ENDING IN A PAIR OF POINTED

The common element, which completely changes the silhouette, are the trousers that end at the knee with a brand new cuff-effect, finished off as always with opaque hose. The
