MILAN, Sep 26, 2009 / FW/ — Perhaps we are really in a parallel universe – a romantic Roberto Cavalli and now, a sexy and naughty Emporio Armani!
Conquistador shorts and brief jackets, so brief that you can actually see the brassiere was a staple on the runway. Then there is the strapless black cocktail dress done in box pleats with shapewear peeking and then of course the petal skirt/shorts for office wear.
Giorgio Armani has always given Emporio Armani, which he had always considered as youthful line a lot of leeway, and for Spring 2010, that “leeway” had turned into something delightfully naughty.
It’s a different Emporio Armani and just like what I said about the romantic side of Roberto Cavalli, I LIKE IT!

These are profoundly tasteless clothes. It’s hard to believe Armani would put his name to such disposable trash. Then again, he has already besmirched his own name by beginning the awful “Armani Jeans” line.
