Emporio Armani created a sportier, more dressed-down silhouette for spring summer 2011.

The byword for classic elegance, Armani relaxed his aesthetic by adding transparent jersey pencil skirts and leggings under blousons and bandeau tops. Racer-backs were added to shift dresses, nylon was used on shirts and bright yellow ankle length pants.
This being Armani, it was all inherently refined. But for those not wishing to tackle sportswear, an array of fitted blazers - some cropped, some with tails, all with sculpted shoulders - city shorts and light and airy tiered dresses provided the quintessential Emporio look.
