Mood board: Loose-hipped trousers cropped above the ankle provided the new, soft silhouette at Giorgio Armani where Milan's minimalist master played around with watery swirling prints on deep black backgrounds.
Best in show: A bottle green fur cape jacket was pierced with laser cuts that looked like a series of elegant Roman arches.
Finishing touches: The new court shoe at Armani has a cone heel and a thick strap that buckles over the front of the bare foot while flats - our favourite part of the accessories line-up - came as low-vamped loafers or chic and sleek shiny patent leather boots.
