MILAN CATWALK SPRING SUMMER 2009
PAGE ONE:
It’ll take more than impending economic doom to scare off fashion gurus and new talents.

PAGE TWO:

PAGE THREE:

Astonishingly striking, Armani’s high-end collection Privé conveys emotion through some very strong clothes: in a predominance of gleaming gold, the skills of the embroiderers focus on the construction of knife sharp, one-of-a-kind pagoda-schoulders superfrocks
