Armani Privé Spring 2009 Couture

Beautiful in a pique weave print.

Another lovely belted suit with a great buckle.

Another thing I'm noticing about these suits is that they're using the princess seam/bust dart combination so often seen in Marfy patterns.

Beautifully cut jacket with great button/loop detail. I love the contrast lining.

A departure from the rest of the jackets, and very nice.

Great pockets.

An interesting lace top.

A nice boxy jacket with contrast collar and lapels, and interesting sleeves.

Dimensional lace embellishment.

Interesting treatment of a print. Detail below.

Intricate pleating; details below.


Applied triangles add a touch of whimsy.

An ethereal, yet very modern look. Tracery beading shown below.


More pleating and more of the interesting cylindrical decorations.

More pleating, triangles and stripes.

What a wonderful skirt.

Slight asymmetry in this jacket seems very fresh.

Armani Spring 2007 Couture

Scimitar lapels at Armani.

How moderne.

A very pretty suit.

A little origami influence in a beautiful light windowpane fabric.

A matelassé tunic with an interesting shape.

I can't tell exactly what this is; an overblouse of beads, or just jewelry, but it gives a real touch of intrigue to what is essentially a tank top and a skirt.

A very interesting draped jacket, with a python skirt.

A beautiful coat with pleated zigzag stripes and a half double collar, with matching dress.

Quite the commanding collar on this slim coat with python touches.

Lovely slim pants in an intriguing fabrication with the above coat.

Beautiful use of dual fabrics in a jacket. He seems to be all about pleats this year.

Glen-plaid and python, with a great belt, and some very sharp tailoring.

Another reptile jacket with a unique collar. The skirt fabric looks like tiny scales, although it may be a kind of piqué.

This is very striking.

Another pleated collar, but with a very unusual top.

An interesting print used with the lace.

A very interesting positive/negative effect, and with an unusual cut.

A lovely gown, with a dragonfly hat.

A very modern evening suit.

A beautiful gown with waist insets to echo the halter shape, and a lovely, shaped hem.

An unusual evening coatdress with many unusual elements including the front closures, the graduated tucking, and the shaped cuffs.
