The most striking detail of Giorgio Armani's couture collection,
which walked in Paris this afternoon, was the feathered neckpiece
nestled beneath almost every model's chin. On some girls, it covered
their entire necks; on others, it was just a tuft under their right
earlobes. It was an elegant touch on what was otherwise a pretty
restrained collection, although it did remind us of that Alvin Schwartz
story about the girl who has to wear a ribbon around her neck to keep
her head from rolling away ("and then Jenny's head fell off").
Alternatively, as our beauty editor pointed out, the neckpieces could be
useful for covering up chin acne.
