Giorgio Armani Eccentrico exhibition in Paris until January 26th

After London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Rome and New York, Giorgio Armani held the "One Night Only event" in Paris, this tuesday during the Haute Couture shows. The brand unveiled its Giorgio Armani Privé Spring/Summer 2014 Haute Couture collection in the Palais de Tokyo. The show was called Nomade. During a preview, Armani said: "This is a woman who moves around the world and picks ideas from the beautiful things she sees, what moves her emotionally: the color of a skirt, jewelry that can be ethnic or not." He described the collection as a "mélange of things — not typically Indian or African or European. She moves with an Armani spirit in her head." Another very elegant and refined collection! Followed was the opening of the Eccentrico exhibition: a retrospective on the history of the Italian house, with a selection of Giorgio Armani couture dresses, accessories and jewelry. The event was live-streamed directly onto Giorgio Armani's website, allowing the public to witness the party in real time and view some parts of the exhibition. Armani Eccentrico2

Giorgio Armani also asked the very talented French filmmaker Loïc Prigent to conceive a series of short films, showing the designer's special relationship with Paris. We are big fans of Loïc's work and his unique way of capturing the intensity and the craziness of the fashion world. His documentaries are always full of wit, charm, and made in a very intelligent way. You can check the short films on the Armani website.
