Designer Giorgio Armani decided to host his autumn / winter show at Milan Fashion Week in a closed-door venue bereft of an audience. Models sashayed down the runway as per usual, and the designer even took a bow at the end of the show, but it was all for virtual viewers.
The octogenarian designer cited health concerns for his audience and team, amid reports that, outside Asia, Italy has become the most infected country, with more than 150 cases of the coronavirus registered so far.
An outbreak was most recently reported in northern Italy. The designer himself was spotted outside the venue, putting on a face mask before entering.
The label acknowledged the decision on Twitter, calling it a "preventative measure".
It also took to Twitter to show and describe the collection, noting that it was "drenched with subdued romanticism" and that "the epaulettes, chevrons, and ribbing of the uniforms of literary heroes, along with the enveloping coats, small jackets with high buttoning, and knickerbockers tucked into boots, are reinterpreted in a feminine key; soft, delicate".
Elsewhere, camouflage prints with floral motifs and black outfits with pink, teal and pearl grey made an appearance.
The show with a message of love for China with a selection of looks from the Giorgio Armani Privé spring / summer 2009 and 2019 collections, which were specifically inspired by the country, which the company said was one "with which the designer has always maintained a special bond, both aesthetic and cultural".

What is dialysis?
Dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys fail and can no longer do the job.
It gets rid of your body's wastes, extra salt and water, and helps to control your blood pressure. The main cause of kidney failure is diabetes and hypertension.
There are two kinds of dialysis — haemodialysis and peritoneal.
In haemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine that filter your blood and returns it to your body by tubes.
In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.
It isn’t an option for everyone but if eligible, can be done at home by the patient or caregiver. This, as opposed to home haemodialysis, is covered by insurance in the UAE.
