When the designer created his first suit for women using menswear fabrics, it was a revelation and changed the way women would dress forever. Since then his collections have continued to feature androgynous pieces that empower and liberate women by allowing them to express their individuality and personal style. His pantsuit however remains the designer’s most enduring hallmark and a core part of the fashion lexicon.
A pair of Armani pants is instantly recognisable with its clean lines, impeccable tailoring and flattering silhouette. Each pair exudes a sense of effortless sophistication and timeless elegance, regardless of who is wearing them. They are also testament to the designer’s mastery of the craft with their meticulous attention to detail.
Each season they are transformed through a range of luxe fabrications and subtle nuances in cut and fit, making them feel fresh, exciting and contemporary. The iconic pantsuit continues to take centre stage in the designer’s autumn/winter 2024 collection called Winter Flowers. Inspired by flowers that bloom even in the depths of winter, each look conveys a message of grace and hope intertwined with the power and energy of nature.
The chic and lean silhouette is composed of jackets with flared sleeves, long coats and of course his signature trousers in fabrics that resemble liquid. Other must-have pant styles include loose velvet combats, silk satin jodhpurs and wide-legged styles made from herringbone fabric. Florals heralding beauty and regrowth adorn each garment, emphasising their airy, fluid forms and a sense of harmonious elegance that underpins Armani’s designs.
These are often accompanied by embroidered dragonflies, another symbol of hope. A radiant palette of nocturnal blues, intense blacks and dark greens radiates against the shimmer of velvet, satin and technical silks, soft wool bouclé and embroidery, completing Armani’s stunning vision of his strong and powerful woman blossoming in the cold. Florals heralding beauty and regrowth adorn Winter Flower garments, emphasising the harmonious elegance that underpins Armani’s designs.
