Giorgio Armani SS23 Inspiration Chart

The collection was built on a simple yet profound notion, a love for the sea and sun. This is a big deal for Armani, a man whose tastes run more azzurro than celeste. The models were asked to smile, old-school style, as they sauntered as if from the beach to the yacht on a midsummer passeggiata. To a soundtrack of Italian maritime classics we saw a progression from flowing separates to cinched-waist sylph dresses. There were sections of aqua-tinted greige, a gorgeous top printed with the reliefs of flying swallows, and patterns that knowingly deconstructed Armani’s signatures into segmental decoration. - Vouge
