The young design team at Emporio Armani filtered classic Armani-isms through a contemporary lens for Pre-Fall. Keen on emphasizing a spirited attitude and affiliating themselves with the Instagram generation, apparently, they called it Artificial Filter.
The silhouette was reworked and updated with a modern flair: A classic military trench’s proportions were oversized, but the vibe was kept feminine via a silk minidress printed with camouflage motifs worn underneath. Versatility and ease were paramount. Blazers were trapeze-shaped in bonded scuba velour and almost morphed into outerwear hybrids, while, nodding to the current anti-fur trend, a soft black furry peacoat trimmed in white was worn with slim-fitting cropped denim pants. Prints and jacquards also received an energy boost; blown up into abstract patterns, they graced a roomy day-to-night caban and a boxy duster.
