The front row at the Armani Prive show caused just as much excitment as the spectacular collection itself. There was Cate Blanchett, Katie Holmes, Clive Owen among many others, and that simply was just the first row. The venue was packed with 600 guests who had come to Paris to see Girogio Armani's biggest Couture presentation. This collection was raved as Mr. Armani's best couture performance so far. The show opened with a collarless black pantsuit, which set the tone as a merge of Armani's signature jackets with Indian-inflected cuts and bejewled embellishments flooded the runway. For day, he worked a new sense of ease into Empire jackets with deep ruffles, and knee length skirts. He also caught a sense of the trends pairing large tunics with leggings. Stayed tuned to see if any of these celebrities will be wearing one of Mr. Armani's Prive gowns to the Oscars.
