The EMPORIO ARMANI Fall/Winter 2015-16 collection showcases a world of rich jewels sparkling against a black background, blending with bold ikat (splash) graphics. Vibrant red features prominently in the collection, incorporating a variety of elements, including fur coats, leather riders, and neoprene dresses, as well as shoes, bags, buttons, and embroidery. Wide-leg pants and jackets with a checkered appearance are made from jacquard fabric bonded with laser-cut leather. The wide-leg pants are generously pleated for ample room and feature straps for tightening the hem. The volume created by the neoprene material and ruffles is striking. The flared backs of coats, knit mohair coats, and oversized, flowing collars create a nonchalant atmosphere. Neoprene has become lighter and more flexible, evolving into a more realistic material. A bright red bonded coat dress is charmingly feminine.

The eye-catching ruffles not only adorn collars, sleeves and cuffs, but are also attached to belts, clutch bags and pouch straps, giving them a presence similar to that of clothing and adding an accent to your styling.

The shoes and bags are made of eel leather, which exudes a luxurious feel. Micro bags such as square clutches and clasp-style charm bags are likely to continue to be a trend this season.
