Giorgio Armani's Armani/Casa Hits Miami

Angela Swinderman Elias — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 12:00:44 PDT

Originally launching in 2000 in Milan, the fashion powerhouse's home brand, Armani/Casa, now has over 60 stores worldwide, with the latest addition opening in Miami just this week. Giorgio Armani's vision was to merge his fashion philosophy with the world of interiors to create a lifestyle that celebrates all aspects of design.

The result is high-quality furnishings that resemble the sexy and luxurious aesthetic of the Giorgio Armani brand. The dimly lit, 3,700-square-foot space is filled with a large assortment of home goods including furniture, tableware, decorative accessories, fabrics, ornaments, lighting, and unique concepts for bathrooms and kitchens. Additionally, the store offers exclusive interior design service providing "made to measure" solutions for private clients and property developers.

A delicately patterned plate adds subtle texture but can easily blend with any dining environment.

See Lana Del Rey's Midriff-Baring Style!

Allison McNamara — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:27:00 PDT

Lana Del Rey performed on American Idol last evening in a sweet, white two-piece outfit which she paired with Converse for an interesting sartorial twist. The "Video Games" singer has been making major waves in the fashion industry recently; for Fall, the British brand Mulberry debuted a new tote inspired by her, appropriately named the "Del Rey." Earlier this week, she upped the glam factor in an ice-blue Giorgio Armani gown for the Echo Awards in Berlin, but stayed true to her signature style by opting for a pair of nude ballet flats. See both of Lana's lovely looks in today's Fab Flash! On Allison McNamara: Superdry top, Zara belt.

Giorgio Armani Fall 2012

Hannah Weil — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 07:14:19 PST

Giorgio Armani delivered the art of slick suiting and a master class in bold color for Fall 2012. We're not just mesmerized by the double and triple vision stunts Armani pulled on his catwalk - though the sight of two or three models in the same sharp suiting, brilliant fuchsia and orange, and slick fedoras really drives the point home. Still, even without the "special effects," the collection is built up in confidence. Strong shapes and new silhouettes - like a return to longer menswear-style shorts paired with vibrant ladylike jackets and bold color-infused woven knits - result in something all at once androgynous and insanely glam. That's largely due to the fact that these Fall looks are saturated in hot pinks, purples, and orange; the palette is drama-inducing in itself - but add to that the luxuriousness of fur, crystal embellishment, and vibrant abstract print, and the resulting styles start to run into diva territory. There are few people, save for Anna Dello Russo or Lady Gaga, who could pull off a cotton-candy-feeling fur coat - fortunately the collection is also much more wearable than that. Gray suiting adorned with rosettes and finished with oxfords has a snappier feel than the lavishness of his color-saturated fur, and that's the bread and butter here: sportier evening themes and rich color play.

Trends: Colored fur, slick fedoras, colorblocking, menswear, shorts cropped just above the knee, gloves, textured woven knits, abstract print, and sequins.
Colors: Red, black, hot pink, orange, purple, and gray.
Key Piece: The sequined coat has just the right slinky, sexy quality to it; we're taken with Armani's colorblocked hot-pink oxfords.
Accessories: Cutout gloves, wide-brim fedoras, layered statement necklaces, colored oxford kicks, slick clutches.
Who Would Wear It: The risk-taker with an eye for sharp silhouettes and statement color; Anna Dello Russo could rock the hot-pink fur - but she may just be about the only one who can.

Oscars: Penelope Cruz

The ever-gorgeous Penelope Cruz channeled a modern-day princess vibe in this custom Giorgio Armani periwinkle organza gown. The combination of the gauzy off-the-shoulder straps, fitted bodice, floor-skimming full skirt, and Marilyn Monroe coif emphasized Penelope's flawless execution of ultra-feminine glam. Her solitaire diamond necklace, diamond bracelet, flower-shaped diamond earrings, all from Chopard, and a satin clutch were regal add-ons, fit for red carpet royalty, of course. Are you digging Penelope's princess gown?

Rihanna Collaborates With Giorgio Armani on Her Dress For the Grammys

FabSugar — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:00:17 PST

Rihanna went for a minimalist, ultrasexy look for the Grammys. Rather than pick something off the runways, Rihanna chose to collaborate with Giorgio Armani on her black dress. She shows off her sculpted back and she accentuates the deep V-neck in front with long gold chains. On her wrist, she dons all-gold jewelry. What do you think of Rihanna's custom-made dress?

Grammy Awards: Adele

FabSugar — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 17:03:48 PST

Soulful songstress Adele schooled us tonight in the art of modern elegance, which she juxtaposed with retro glamour. Her custom black embellished Giorgio Armani gown instantly reminded us of Mad Men-inspired formality, but it was her crimson lips and '60s-style winged eyeliner that drove the nostalgic evening ensemble home. While her sparkly dress and impeccable makeup made a siren statement, her vintage cocktail ring and pendant earrings added quiet sparkle to the throwback look. Are you feeling Adele's Armani attire?

Jessica Chastain Gets Her Good Oscar News Front Row at Armani With Cameron Diaz

Lindsay Miller — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:55:13 PST

Jessica Chastain was in Paris this afternoon at the Giorgio Armani Prive runway show when the 2012 Oscar nominations were announced - but when the news that The Help star had earned a best supporting actress nod broke, the fashionable French crowd gave the actress a standing ovation!

Jessica may have been the woman of the hour at the Grand Palais, where the show was held, but she wasn't the only boldfaced name in attendance at the couture presentation. She was seated side-by-side with Cameron Diaz in a coveted front-row spot. The actresses both stopped to pose for pictures and chat with designer Giorgio Armani before taking their seats. Cameron had already made the scene at several major shows, including Chanel, Dior, and Versace, before putting in the appearance at Mr. Armani's show this morning. For all the highlights from the Paris runways, be sure to check out Fab's roundup of the 100 most beautiful couture week looks so far!

Couture Fashion Week: Armani Privé

Hannah Weil — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:06:31 PST

If you glimpsed Giorgio Armani's Spring Couture, you might just have one first thought: he's going green - literally. Initial reactions aside, the palette gives way to a range of vibrant hues that encompass every shade of green. But if you lose yourself in the color, you lose sight of the whole collection, how it marries both the sporty, streamlined menswear in shinning gray tones and the decadent eveningwear that's made Armani a favorite dresser among the Hollywood crowd. The collection doesn't cater definitively to either persona; it gives us both the modern suiting in a glossy, slick finish, then carries over that same contemporary confidence topping a sequined floor-length gown with a jacket tossed effortlessly across the shoulders.

Trends: Pantsuits, texture, sequins.
Colors: Every shade of green, citrus, slick gray, liquid silver, and black.
Key Look: The liquid-silver strapless gown with the embellished jacket tossed nonchalantly over the top.
Accessories: Swirl-shaped fascinators, handheld clutches, elbow-length gloves.
Who Would Wear It: Awards-show A-listers; Cate Blanchett would rock this suiting.

Critics' Choice Awards: Stacy Keibler

BellaSugar — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:12:37 PST

Stacy Keibler was all smiles at the Critics' Choice Awards - not surprising, considering her date was George Clooney. The actress and former wrestler showed off her sculpted curves in a flowing ivory Giorgio Armani dress, Marchesa clutch, René Caovilla shoes, along with jewels by Kwiat and Kara Ackerman Designs. Honey highlights and nude lips let her natural beauty shine through, complementing an understated but sophisticated ensemble. Too chic or too safe?
