Giorgio Armani illuminates Paris with its haute couture Spring/Summer show

Watched by an audience including Uma Thurman, Hilary Swank, Livia Firth and Amber Le Bon, the Giorgio Armani Prive show opened with models slowly sashaying down the illuminated catwalk in geometric patterned collarless jackets and cropped bell-sleeved trousers. As the show progressed, oversized costume jewellery and beaded embellishment were lavish and a finale of glittering full-length gowns are sure to keep the front row suitably dressed on the red carpet.
