From the New York Times "Milan Takes a Pledge of Sobriety":
"Giorgio Armani, for instance, has not often been more in tune with his idiom. The soft suiting and slightly feminized shapes that were his early adaptation to Neapolitan tailoring were, for once, not sidetracked by excursions into stuff that looked like costumes for some imaginary summer in 1920s Biarritz. There was no kooky headgear, no character pastiche.
True, Mr. Armani projected photographs of Luchino Visconti and Gabriele d’Annunzio above the runway, perhaps to give the show an aristocratic aura. But he kept things quiet and class-appropriate by offering suits in muted dark colors, and with a minimum of pattern, and by also producing forgiving, but not jokey, full trousers that any prosperous dentist would be pleased to wear."
