RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Armani Prive A/W 2013

Nude Suits: Armani Prive Fall/Winter 2013/2014

The Look: Giorgio Armani showed his Couture collection for Armani Prive in Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week two days ago. He called it "Nude". After seeing the collection you get the Nude references; nothing to hide, transparency, nude colors, lace, sheerness. He also said that it was about "Pure elegance, what's on the inside". Colors did range from pale neutrals, nude, cremes to black. The shapes were softer, more fluid, not so architectural and structured as some of his latest outings for Armani Prive and little use of his signature "satinized"/techno silk organza, if any.
