DESPITE the gloom, the sweet mood of spring is reflected in airy dresses in soft shades ?with bouquets of flowers, botanical motifs, butterflies and a vibrant display of nature ?in the spring/summer collections of Kenzo and Emporio Armani.
The Kenzo boutique in the basement of Plaza 66 features the striking black-and-white deco style of its Milan concept store to bring out the bright, colorful shades of the clothes. Floral sculptures on the walls create a sweet, romantic atmosphere.
"A delicate, almost evanescent line, interwoven with veils and transparency?is how designer Antonio Marras described the house's newest collection. Inspired by "Alice in Wonderland,?it is light and warm, in mossy, powdered colors, reflecting the sunlight of a late summer afternoon,
Fringing, folded Chinese crepe, frilled chiffon, linen and tulle illustrate the aerial slide of the young girl into her wonderland.
There is also an extravaganza of embroideries, organza petals, pearls, ribbons and sequins ?so beautiful and lovely that no woman could say no.
Another fairy tale, "A Thousand and One Nights,?has inspired the men's collection for which the designer has used abundant bright colors and printed patterns matched with exotic accessories to evoke the image of a young Arabian prince.
In comparison, Emporio Armani's men are more solid and cool.
Its latest collection comes in a palette of pale shades ranging from stormy hues of grey to dark variations of navy blue, with the plain austerity of uniforms.
The silhouette is more streamlined and dynamic, featuring typical wide trousers, narrow at the hem, and deconstructed T shirts and jackets.
For women, the spirit is more carefree and the Armani code of aesthetics is apparent.
The jacket is short and slight with emphasis on the shoulders; they are matched with softly cut trousers to the knee or ankle, created in a fluid shape.
Sleeveless knit tops with light organza backs, long skirts in weightless gauze and gowns covered in beads gliding over the figure like drops of water are, however, dreamy and romantic.
The 380-square-meter Emporio Armani classical store on the second floor of Plaza 66 sells a complete range of high-end men and women's wear, leather accessories, jewelry, watches and sunglasses.
