Roving Reporter : Giorgio Armani

Ask anyone and they will tell you that Armani makes exquisite suiting. This season is no different. Beautiful tailored jackets were teamed with a host of skirts and trousers that would make perfect work wear (for those still in high powered enough jobs to require such items). 

The colour palette of black, soft grey, metallic flashes and navy was extremely grown up and sophisticated and here at fash-pack we simply adored the little beret and patent glove styling.

Firstly, check out those eighties shoulders, it is definitely time to raid the haberdashery at JL!

Love the mix of tonal suiting, the mismatch of grey is perfect! 

One button is tres chic! and I am itching to get a pair of those booties!

Two models at a time! Fantastic, twice as much fashion! Love the blue and black together. Sophisticated pencil skirts, wrap jackets and great collars. With many designers choosing to concentrate on party wear to beat the crunch, Armani chose to do what he does best, beautiful suiting. 

This was definitely a serious collection. No frivolity here! Slight military overtones in styling and design, this paneled detailing is gorgeous. Again mixing the colour tones within one look is perfect and practical.

Cinched waists and accentuated hips, show off fantastic hour glass figures. Like at D&G, front crease, slim cut trousers are taking over and banishing those hard to wear peg legs.

Armani hadn't banished party wear all together, as these ladies show above, asymmetric frocks are still in for A/W 09 and the metallic trend is definitely set to continue.
