That was quite literally true in the Emporio Armani collection previewed on Thursday during Milan Fashion Week, where playing cards were the recurring motif.
The collection riffed on men’s dressing for women, featuring three-piece suits and velvet ensembles with matching ties or big neck bows.
Sequined playing cards were tucked in bodices or handily in belts or jacket pockets.
A heart-shaped top peeked out of jackets, belt buckles came in diamond shapes and costume jewelry were clubs and spades.
At age 90, Giorgio Armani still has more than a few cards up his sleeve.
