A thought, a sensation, a green emotion. This world encompasses all of the facets of green, in a palette that merges into grey, darkens into black, picks up the brown of tree trunks and bare earth, and includes soft touches of white. The colors and materials create the image of winter warmth: not just because of the layering and quilting, but also because of the actual quality of the wool. (continues below)
Forceful and precise treatments emphasize the city mood of the sportswear. A touch of class for a young man who has no wish to exploit his own youth in order to shock.
High-waisted trousers with straight legs and short jackets draw a slim, precise silhouette, emphasized by the use of carded wool, while chenille in pale shades, used for both trousers and shirts, contributes radiant highlights. Comprising single pieces, easy to co-ordinate, but each possessing its own individual character, this collection confirms that Emporio Armani stands for contemporary style, while each single item still has its own role in the construction of a distinctive and personal aesthetic.

Audrey Hepburn's black Givenchy dress tops fashion list
Audrey Hepburn's black Givenchy dress from Breakfast At Tiffany's is top of the frocks, a poll found today.
The smart gown which she wore as Holly Golightly in the ever-popular film was judged greatest female screen outfit.

The survey, conducted by DVD rental film Lovefilm to mark the release of Sex And The City tomorrow, found Ursula Andress's bikini from Dr No was in the top five.
Hepburn's top gown showed that age was no bar to glamour - her outfit made its appearance almost half a century ago in 1961. One of the three dresses produced for the film sold for more than £400,000 at auction four years ago.
Style queen Hepburn landed a second entry at number six with the white dress and bonnet combo she wore at the races in My Fair Lady.
Runner-up outfit - the floor-length emerald green Jacqueline Durran-designed dress worn by Keira Knightley in Atonement - also had a vintage touch. Although the film dates back only to 2007, the scene in which it features was set in the 1930s.
Marilyn Monroe's cheeky white dress from The Seven Year Itch - which famously blows up as she crosses a subway grating - was placed third.
Andress's beachwear - the briefest outfit on the list - was placed fourth, although running a close second in the skimpy stakes is Raquel Welch's leather and fur bikini from One Million Years BC.
Style icon Sarah Jessica Parker is ranked 10th for the Vivienne Westwood wedding dress for the first Sex And The City movie.
Lovefilm editor Helen Cowley said: "Audrey Hepburn has truly made that little black dress a fashion staple which has stood the test of time despite competition from some of the most stylish females around.
"As Sarah Jessica Parker and co-stars prepare to provide the next fashion fix for women everywhere, it'll be interesting to see if their latest threads can make the same impact."

Amy Winehouse turns fashion designer
While there is no question that Amy Winehouse has one of the best voices in the music business, I have to admit that we here at Secret Sales HQ were more than a tad sceptical when she announced plans to collaborate with Fred Perry to create a designer clothing range.
A massive black beehive that could have all manner of creatures in it, coupled with tattoos to rival that of the hardest rockers, are not exactly the epitome of chic in my humble opinion.
But to my amazement, when the shots of Amy’s collection landed on our laps we were all pleasantly surprised.
It would appear the singer’s new clean-living image has transpired to her clothing collection - the fifties-style line features cute little signature Fred Perry polo shirts, pencil skirts, jumper dresses and Capri pants.
While the collection is possibly a little bit too tomboy-ish for my liking, there is no doubt that Amy has stayed true to the iconic Fred Perry brand but given it her own unique twist.
"I’m really excited about doing this line with Fred Perry. We’ve been working on it for a while and it’s great to see it finally come to fruition," she says.
The singer joins the ranks of a whole host of other celebrity-turned-designer types, including Gwen Stefani, Kate Moss and Emma Watson and although I don’t think this clothing collection is anywhere in their league, it’s a good first try.
