La Femme Bleue
After six days of glaring color — Armani himself featured watermelon red in his Emporio collection — it was a real surprise to see a show where the brightest shade was midnight blue.
The Tuareg peoples of the central Sahara inspired an elegant exploration of ethnicity in Giorgio Armani's spring/summer 2011 collection at Milan Fashion Week.
Armani worked almost entirely in midnight blue, as deep as the night sky over the sand dunes, and based on the indigo robes and veils favoured by these nomads of the desert.
Sure there was midnight, royal, almost black shades but it's quite an incredible feat to create an entire collection in one colour.
The effect was dark, moody and mysterious, enhanced by crystals and sequins shimmering like stars on satin and brocade, iridescent tulle, and transparent cloaks and shawls, which shielded the face and body on entrance, but were drawn open to unveil a bow-detailed, strapless column or a high-waisted, long gown beneath.

Classical colours
When we think of statues and buildings of the classical period, we tend to imagine white marble; scientists in recent years have discovered that it is in fact most likely that many of the buildings and statues were painted and probably adorned with jewelry.
