The Armani Privé Fall 2012 collection includes an assortment of luxe formal gowns, waist length coats and high rise skirts. And while the pieces are diversified, catering to professional events and funky cocktail soirees alike, they all feature varying takes on a dark velvet fabric.
Blazers lined with plush kohl trimming and pants with wide, smooth belts distinguish these Armani Privé pieces from past ones. The line is known for its lavish qualities, catering in the past to the likes of Christian Bale and Lady Gaga. This high profile clientele base necessitates glamorous designs at the turn of each season, and given the timeless beauty of velvet cuts, it follows that the brand opted to weave them throughout its Fall 2012 ensembles.
