RUNWAY: Giorgio Armani FW17

Comfort and style are two reasons why Giorgio Armani has garnered such a loyal following. His softly tailored suits look good and feel good to wear. The DNA of his eponymous label hasn't changed much in the last, say, 30-plus years. However, there are nuances to each collection that differentiate it. It could be the use of different fabrics, fur or velvet, or a different shape of a jacket, four buttons tightly hugging the wearer. For FW17, fur and texture took on new, larger roles in the collection, from the oversized fur coats at the end to a fuzzy mohair coat to the sleeve scarves seen throughout. The scarves and accessories hugged and comforted the models, like they were adult version of security blankets. These are hard times after all, maybe Signor Armani knows the world needs a bit of comfort and security now.
