Armani and Missoni: In the Shadow of the Supermoon
@Milan Fashion Week came to a close just after a total lunar eclipse, the sort that indicates heavenly bodies in perfect alignment.// As portents go, it doesn*t get much better than that.//
@The clothes, however, did not quite live up to the well, astronomical implications.// All that new energy everyone kept talking about during the week? It got a boost from a gently calibrated, Balthus inspired Arthur Arbesser show, full of youthful ©florals and tone on tone ghostly cat prints, but mostly felt gone with the blood moon.//
Instead, Milan ended in retrograde.//
@To celebrate his new book, a 40th anniversary extravaganza tracing his career from childhood to today, Giorgio Armani had not a party but © a presentation.// At 12:30 in the afternoon.// Immediately after his show.//
