Traditional traveller looks get a shiny upgrade in the new Armani Privé Spring 2014 Couture collection. The well-known Armani blue ads some shimmer to long skirts, tailored tops and of course silk scarf head wraps. The models all had their hair hidden with the long, floating scarfs, while their eyes were shadowed in intense black and their lips were painted a soft peachy color.
The under-looked fortune teller market has finally been addressed with the most recent Armani Privé Spring 2014 Couture collection. Besides all the traveler-inspiration there was also a lot of pajama dressing in the form of loose, high-waisted trousers. Most if not all of the garments in the collection had a strong metallic sheen to them. Another constant was a much-used criss-cross print that was made subtly small.
