The Emorio Armani fall 2012 RTW collection was both serious and
whimsical. It began with dark grays and blacks and later embraced
reds, blues, purples, and even plaids. This change of color and attitude resulted in a line that was young and casual, yet remained
sophisticated.
Present in nearly every look were slim-cut and cuffed pants
that ended right at the knee. While many refer to them as knickers or britches,
the show called them Bermudas. Giorgio Armani also included a ton of rosettes
and dots in his collection.
Ruffles, berets, and colored tights also made appearances in
the "Little Winter Follies" show. As for fabrics, Armani went for the unexpected
by featuring velvet and taffeta. Overall, the collection mixed the twenties with
the eighteenth century and added a splash of bohemian flare. As the show notes
described it, the styling on the Milan runway was made to add “fun little touches of
pure fantasy.”
