Life Imitates Art: This Armani Privé Gown Pairs Perfectly with a Paul Gauguin Masterpiece
Discover how life imitates art in unexpected moments of visual synchronicity
Having no formal artistic training, Postimpressionist artist Paul Gauguin lived a nomadic lifestyle traveling the world and creating art of various mediums including painting, ceramics, and woodcuts. Conceived during his first trip to Tahiti, Fatata te Miti (By the Sea) (1892) depicts a tropical paradise of pink sands, vibrant blooms, and women bathing in the ocean.
Among the parade of pastel chiffon and tulle ensembles at Armani Privé’s haute couture spring/summer 2024 show in Paris, this formfitting silk jacquard gown stands out with its shimmering embroidery and embellishments. Celebrating his 90th birthday this July and the brand’s 50th anniversary next year, Giorgio Armani‘s legacy expands beyond fashion into hospitality, furniture, and interior design.
