Giorgio Armani was in attendance for his latest high fashion collection Armani Privé in Paris on Tuesday night to apply some star power to the front row haute couture show, with Kate Hudson, Laura Dern, Emma Thompson, Sydney Sweeney and Camille Razat .

A group of big names suddenly had to rush the set of the show as heavy rain scattered hundreds of fans and caused panic among other stars.

However instead of heading west to Hollywood this season, Giorgio looked east for inspiration. Armani has always loved Far Eastern cultures, but this season it looks like they’ve opened an atelier in Shanghai.

His first six looks were harem pant suits, paired with a very tasteful range of dressy jackets in textured wool or silver shantung, often embellished with fabric roses. The motto of this collection.

As the evening progressed, Armani embroidered mesh jackets with fabric peonies, plum blossoms and lotus blossoms, and his models sported intricately braided Mikado hairstyles.

And in a masterful display from its atelier, Armani’s team embroidered pagodas and temples onto felt jackets and frock coats. True Haute Couture Collection Creations.

An extremely sophisticated show, staged inside a beige rectangular space built inside the Gare des Invalides, a former Air France building now used for fashion shows, and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on the Quai d’Orsay Located right next door.

A moment light years away from the recent unrest that has shaken France, after the first two days full of haute couture in Paris, unrest that has so far not disrupted a single show.

Even Giorgio might have gone a bit overboard with the bags, showing off multiple triple clutches tied with chains, the last of which was obviously red.

Armani always creates haute couture on his own terms. As in the case of his wife. traditionally marie, or the bride who closes all the most serious high fashion shows, wearing white. Giorgio has clothed him in the red dragon flame.

And while on the catwalk at Paris Haute Couture Week, Giorgio titled the collection “Le Temps des Roses.”

“A sensuous, seductive and mysterious blossom of the rose…
A journey from west to east through tall silhouettes, for a collection that is without romantic clichés, the most emblematic flower ever”, commented Armani, who will celebrate his 89th birthday in a week.

These days it has become mandatory for the public to give the 80-year-old designer a standing ovation at all Armani fashion shows. He did it again in Paris on Tuesday night. The wise king of Milanese fashion enjoys every applause, prolongs it, squeezes every moment for what it’s worth. 48 years after setting up his own fashion house, he is still The Man.
