GIORGIO ARMANI IN MILAN

Tailoring, both 'formal and comfortable', was relaxed by swapping the belt with a casually knotted scarf on the waist. Yet the news was either in shirts, where all that was left of the collar was the stand, or pants, where many new hybrids with oriental roots were offered. Ties were scarce, in their place were scarves, worn on the shoulders. With sitar music as the sound track, it was clear that Armani was looking east for inspiration.
