Giorgio Armani Fall 2008 Couture Collection: Menswear inspired

Sometimes fashion may be too overly saturated with feminine gowns and skirts. It would be refreshing to see some menswear-inspired fashion trends, which to me, is highly sexy and authoritative and totally wearable. A nice and very much welcomed look in the fashion scene. Don't you agree with me?

At least, Mr. Armani agrees with me *wink* In the Paris show, Mr. Giorgio Armani has come up with yet another beautiful couture collection for this fall '08 with his menswear inspired creations. He opened his show with a concise essay of what he does best - easy yet highly elegant pantsuits. He cleverly contrasts menswear inspired fabrics and structures with very feminine trumpet-sleeved jackets and unabashedly feminine tops and vice versa. Not forgetting his meticulously tailored jackets and neatly square-shouldered tuxes are examples of Mr. Armani's pure genius. His collection exudes the taste of glamour of yesteryears with a new twist on modern minimalism. Pantsuits and all, you can always rely on Mr. Armani. Though I must note, his designs are more on the safer side plus a huge love affair with bow ties.

Here are some runway pictures of his Fall 2008 collection:
