Renowned fashion icon, Giorgio Armani, has passed away.

Fashion designer Giorgio Armani, one of the most influential figures in the industry, has passed away at the age of 91. His legacy, however, continues to shape the world of fashion, as the upcoming winter season showcases a variety of new trends.

For decades, Armani's timeless designs graced the runways and wardrobes of the fashion-conscious. While the exact cause of his death is not mentioned, his influence is evident in the micro-trends that are shaping this winter's fashion.

The winter season will feature a range of colours, with warm brown tones and rich earth tones taking centre stage, alongside the vibrant "Italian Plum". The fashion industry is currently experiencing a shift towards micro-trends with style breaks, with finely detailed styles taking precedence.

Among the 12 micro-trends expected for Winter 2023/2024 are oversized tailoring, luxurious knitwear, layered textures, monochromatic looks, and elegant minimalism. Shiny metallic accents, statement outerwear, mixed fabrics, vintage-inspired silhouettes, refined casualwear, and detailed craftsmanship are also on the list.

One unique micro-trend is the use of silk scarves as belts, adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit. Another trend is the adoption of shiny metallic looks, which are sure to make a statement. However, it is not specified if these new trends were inspired by or in response to the death of Giorgio Armani.

Playful embroidery and touchable fabrics are also expected to be prevalent in the winter fashion. While Armani's designs were known for their classic style, these new trends offer a fresh and exciting take on winter fashion.

Armani built a fortune with his classic style and timeless designs. His influence on the fashion industry is undeniable, and his legacy will continue to inspire designers for years to come. As we bid farewell to a fashion icon, we look forward to seeing how these new trends will shape the world of fashion in the coming months.
