The Armani Privé spring/summer 2016 haute couture collection, shown in Paris in January, was hugely compelling. Dreamy shades of lavender were featured in sheer fabrics, whimsical textures and feminine silhouettes that floated down the runway, combining mystic glamour with a very contemporary vibe. So when it came time to organise our haute couture shoot in Paris, Armani Privé was a brand we simply had to have for the fashion editorial. We were thrilled to shoot this beautiful piece, which combines a lavender textured organza skirt with a top covered in Swarovski crystals. To our amusement, the look arrived with its accessories from the runway: a Plexi bracelet, an embellished clutch, and patent leather shoes, featuring a matching lavender mesh material.
Follow in the footsteps of Giorgio Armani and opt for light, lilac hues for this season’s evening wear buys. Achieve the same balance between fantasy and modernity by grounding the sheer shade and lightweight textile with edgy accessories.
