Subtle seduction in Giorgio Armani’s Charmani collection in Milan

September 23, 2016 By admin

By Giulia Segreti MILAN (Reuters) – A woman's allure is a matter of small and subtle details for Giorgio Armani in his spring/summer 2017 “Charmani” collection presented on Friday during Milan Fashion week.    Appearing charming and sophisticated, she attracts attention with short skirts and veils that do not reveal too much, with knitted elements and fringe-like decorations on her garments. True to his style, Armani, who celebrated four decades in fashion last year, kept his designs clean cut, rigorous and elegant. The palette used by Armani, known in the fashion system as “King Giorgio”, is made up of hypnotic and intense blues and purples, at times deadened by beige, grey and red.

By Luis Jaime Acosta BOGOTA (Reuters) – Miguel Caballero's designs are not just chic, they could save your life. The Colombian fashion designer, who makes lightweight, bulletproof clothing for dignitaries including the King of Jordan, says he has a 'survivors club' of 20 customers who owe their lives to wearing his garments. “My greatest satisfaction is not earning business, it's saving lives,” Caballero, who founded the company bearing his name 21 years ago, told Reuters following a fashion show on Friday with models strutting down the runway as at any other.

A brief history of underwear exposed at London’s V&A

April 14, 2016 By publisher

“Fashion and underwear are inextricably linked,” Susanna Cordner, research assistant on the “Underwear” exhibition, told AFP. One of the exhibition's centre-pieces — a hand-made corset fashioned by an Englishwoman of modest means — shows that such complex items were not confined to high-society, but had to be worn by all women for fear of upsetting moral sensibilities. The show also reveals how men also used corsets and other garments to provide support while playing sport and to flatter the shape, but not nearly to the extent of the women of the age.
