Maharaja-style tunics, with folded peplums, in pale gold and grey brocade were worn with skinny trousers, rouched at the ankle.

The scimitar effect was also used on one-shoulder gowns. Though the showing was heavy on daywear, there were some red carpet ensembles, including a full-skirted cream organza gown with a fringed bodice and diamante trim. Elsewhere, Armani integrated elements of his Privé jewellery line, using semi-precious stones to form high collars on the jackets and to embellish the straps of column dresses.
The collection was showcased in of Modern Art, which had been transformed into a semi-circular theatre for 600 guests, and a black PVC catwalk snaked past the guests. Leading the Red Carpet contingent were Oscar-nominee Cate Blanchett [in an Armani trouser suit], Lady Helen Taylor [in a plunging L.B.D., also by Armani], and Katie Holmes [in a one-shouldered chiffon gown in pale tournmaline]. Following the show, guests proceeded to dinner where mirrored tables were set amidst mirrored columns. The menu included an entrée of creamed cauliflower with crabmeat and caviar, followed by risotto with truffles.
