The Emporio Armani Fall 2013 collection came to the fore at this year's Milan Fashion Week. The event set the couture stage for the label's current take on style, seen in its militaristic garb that in many ways channeled the looks of Soviet Russia.
This chic Soviet feel was driven home by way of cascading velvet frocks and strict, buttoned up outerwear. Practical notes were delivered via the thick tweed and layers of cloth, making this Fall 2013 line a warm choice for the coming cold months. Paired with these fabrics were an assortment of upscale bags. Diversity was key here as the label incorporated handheld satchels, messenger bags and thin, envelope like handheld totes.
