For years, Giorgio Armani has looked to the East with tailored silhouettes, ankle-length trousers, precious motifs and tunics of precious craftsmanship. A source of inspiration that has blossomed to the fullest with autumn winter 2023-24 haute couture show from Armani Prive.
The collection blossomed during Paris Fashion Week temporary roses. Carnal, seductive and mysterious roses decorate the details of the 68 catwalk looks and change the surface of the clothes. Red, like the most stage outfits of the show, is a tribute to the culture of the Levant, for which scarlet shades are a symbol of good luck and prosperity.

A bustier dress with a coronet skirt and matching fire-coloured veil is a tribute to China and India, increasingly important markets where brides wear carmine. A dress with embossed flowers and a dress with a wavy tulle skirt similar to the roof of a pagoda, also in red.

But Giorgio Armani is unique above all because he creates exceptional creations with the most minimalist silhouettes. And even the symbol of the rose, so associated with femininity clichés and haute couture looks, is reimagined with the designer’s understated yet luxurious elegance, with petals and buds mingling with rhythmic geometry and lines of light. Clothing lines are clean, elastic. Small jackets, long skirts, flowing trousers and furro emphasize the figure in combination with thin and slender heels.
Dispute directed at colleagues
It’s a show where Armani’s style feels decisive: “Armani is bigger than ever,” the designer also declares on the threshold of her 89th birthday. But behind the scenes there is room for controversy. King Giorgio decides to go too far on a deeply felt theme: “I came to the show in Paris with my collection because I saw myself in a context in which Couture was an experiment combined with glamour. And I ask myself: is Haute Couture changing? If so, then it’s better not to come to Paris, ”said the designer of La Repubblica. He refers to the discreet and understated fashion shows of some of the great houses that were shown this Fall/Winter 2023-24 Haute Couture Week: “Couture collections that look like ready-to-wear,” he said, adding that everyone is free to do what they want. Who knows, maybe we won’t see his Privé show in Milan next year.
