“We grow up conditioned to the masculine notions of ‘arms,’” observed artist Louise Todd Cope. “The soldiers and statesmen of our lives ‘bear arms,’ engage in ‘arms talks,’ [and] wear ‘armor.’ My images of arms are totally different! I see hugs, warmth, and support.” Giorgio Armani’s armor-inspired ensemble simultaneously expresses power, precision, and suppleness.
