No capes in sight at Armani after Madonna tumble

You could forgive fashion king Giorgio Armani the absence of capes at his Emporio show Friday, after pop diva Madonna blamed one of his creations for her fall at the Brit Awards this week. The white-haired grandfather of fashion looked unrepentant as he took his bow for a lively autumn/winter 2015 collection based on a palette of soft blues, vibrant pinks, reds and purples, rounded off with a host of bewitching black looks. Among the trends emerging at Milan fashion week is the bedroom look, with Gucci producing furry slippers and Fendi showing off a duvet dress — and Armani did not disappoint, unveiling a pink coat with dressing-gown overtones. Madonna blamed her Armani cape for her tumble off the stage at the Brit Awards on Wednesday, after she was unable to untie it during an act.
