Black and white design, which was named by Giorgio Armani as Neodesign, for his Emporio collection. You might assume from this that Armani wanted to smooth out human individuality so the focus fell squarely on the character of the clothes. However, his vision was so cool and muted that the overriding impression was of an icy, Metropolis-like uniformity, despite a finale that married one model in a black pantsuit to another in a skirt of shimmering crystal.
Seams were outlined in black, which added a curious two-dimensional quality to the clothes. There were trompe l'oeil details, like the waistcoat back on a jacket. There was also a shimmering glamour in the way sequins were used. It wasn't, in fact, so much a future that was being explored as an out-of-time moment that synthesized the then, the now, and the still to come. And when it worked, it had its own chilly allure.
