Here are pieces from Giorgio Armani Privé Couture Spring/Summer 2010 collection hot off the runways of Paris Fashion Week. Iridescent shine and structured, clean lines aplenty.

The long and short of it : Structured gowns plain or beaded cuts a striking silhouette. Looking sharp with sharp shoulders. Pointy shoulders = the new shoulder pads?

The dress on the left is not something I’d ever wear but I adore the it.
