Giorgio Armani sent the models down the runway glowing from head to toe in: metallic dresses, dazzling leggings and XL sequins. Shimmering gems in sparkling colours were the inspiration for the Armani Privé collection, reflected in the peridot, onyx and amethyst silk organza. The result: glittering sequins and metallic-flowing statements gowns. The accessories: space-age hats designed by milliner Philip Treacy. This Spring/Summer 2011 collection was a great start to the Haute Couture week in Paris.
