One of the esteemed Italian fashion designers Giorgio Armani who dresses up celebrities, presented his 2009/2010 autumn/winter collection at Milan Fashion Week.

Armani`s dark blue colour which was weaved into the collection was applied to the shoes, dresses with prints, skirts and coats, while mandatory accessories were berets of different shapes.

Seeing how Armani`s models wore stockings just below the knee were irresistibly reminiscent of hot schoolgirls who turned into chic Barbarellas.

Armani recently opened a four-storey shop in New York`s Fifth Avenue.

- A really exciting challenge – that is how I would describe our new concept store, Armani/5th Avenue in New York. It is a special project requiring a degree of courage, as it brings together in one space different elements such as Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani side by side with Giorgio Armani. I was determined to send out a clear message of change, interpreting the current trend for mixing genres, juxtaposing items in different price brackets. You could say that this is a provocative move – uniting in the same place and with the same furnishings, without visible boundaries, the various collections that combine to form the entire Armani universe - Giorgio Armani said.

Seeing how his creations are adored by celebrities, he embaced this, inviting footballer David Beckham who is temporarily on a loan in Milan, to take part in the January campaign for Armani`s latest colelction.
