It's a predominately black palette from Armani, black head-to-toe looks — but should this make you think that the runway was short on variety, you'd be wrong. For Fall '11, Armani delivers a wardrobe for the modern women, 'laxed silhouettes, heavy on the texture and accessories. There is no singular cut, Armani plays with it all: calf-length skirts, easy trousers, long, flowing sheer dresses. Then, we get a dose of sequins, of fuzzy, fur details, and a pop of blue and green on bags, shoes, and shawls. It's a little edgy, just the way today's confident woman would wear her black.
Trends: Graphic print, military, fur, leather.
Colors: Black, a pop of blue.
Key Looks: Black and white printed tank with black trousers and a fuzzy, blue shawl.
Accessories: Velvet black caps, furry, colored totes, intricate ankle-strap sandals, shin-guards, oxfords, luxe little flats.
Who Would Wear It: The modern woman who craves elegance with an edge.
