Giorgio Armani is the master of Italian chic and that's precisely what his Autumn/Winter 12 collection stood for, in a base of grey with flashes of pink and red. A lightness threaded through his trademark unfettered elegance this season, each look worn with an asymmetric hat, half covering the face and flat shoes – designer clothes, but very much designer clothes for living in. As the shorts symbolised, this was about respectful fashion encouraging ease of impulsiveness, movement.
