Evening dress

Giorgio Armani|Giorgio Armani

fall/winter 1994–95 · silk, plastic · Costume Institute

By demanding simplicity of design, Armani allowed for the possibilities of a monochromatic opulence of texture played off against the reserved silhouette. Design seems contracted, but the dress remains a symphony in white, playing on every texture and resonance of whiteness.
