some in fashion disregard armani as a source of innovation. i have to admit this collection surprised me; i loved the glamourous dazzle of the almost crystalized garments that slithered down the runway. as my impressed feelings began to elevate i began to see familiar techniques; reptitive shapes & similar designs to that of other collections of previous seasons. just to keep things clear & to maintain the fact that this is a objectional review- not to twisted or confused for some tantrum of hatred toward something im not willing to admit is great. here are the images. one by one; i’ll disect the fact that we have, in fact, seen these looks before & not at the house of armani. images shown:

the first image gets sniffed out pretty easily & i didnt think it was appropriately recreated. basically, when you look at that image you cannot tell me that isnt a balmain signature seen on last years runways. not saying that no other designers can make their designs sparkle on some balmain shit but come on- are you kidding me. thats basically a balmain little sister design. i can appreciate the trickle of a trend, but in the high-end fashion world of competition; where the contestants compete to see who executes the best designs, you dont replicate someones shit- you bring something new. something new & fresh; reveal a new coat of armour on your models & spark intrigue for all the collections that follow for ready-to-wear. the second image is almost passable but right when i look at that garment i think saint laurent, automatically. maybe that one doesnt come with a hefty verbal piece, as i thought it did when brainstorming this post. now the third & final image is another couture design rip-off, thats an albert ebaz for lanvin design with glitter all over it. for real!? you cant tell me that you dont see the resemblence. if you peep the shows from last year for ready-to-wear, search it at the top of the page i have images posted; you’ll see the images. its no wonder giorgio is discounted, nothing original or fresh is being created. what a disgrace to couture. come with some new shit, seriously.
