Giorgio Armani showed his take on polished stylishness with capes over dresses and flippy skirts.

Square-shouldered jackets over short, semi-wrapped shirts were redolent of the 1980s.

For evening wear, there was sleek black velvet dresses decorated with jewels.

At Gucci, designer Frida Giannini drew on the brand’s golden eras of the 1970s and 1990s for her shiny collection, playing up the label’s sartorial qualities.

Extra-large, deconstructed cashmere coats and collarless cropped jackets were paired with printed silk tops and skinny trousers.

Figure-hugging dresses with metal collars and cuffs had cuts in diverse places, to expose skin.

The designer wedged to white, camel, ice grey, brick, black, and tobacco colors.

Giannini showed attractive Chantilly lace dresses, decorated with sparkling sequins or embroided with ostrich feathers for evening wear.

Lace stockings and crocodile sandals fulfilled the look.
