It’s at the Petit Palais museum that designer Giorgio Armani brightened Paris with his Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2020 collection.
Here was an ode to ikat, the Indonesian dyeing technique, whose dense, rich patterns seemed to inspire the Italian designer. Armani went for bold, not always harmonious pattern and color mixes, which felt new for him. Ikat motifs rubbed up against brocades and lace with floral motifs, or were etched on their own with beadwork.
