Giorgio Armani Unveils Red Carpet Retrospective

Worn by the right woman, a designer gown is transformed from sketch into an iconic piece of fashion history. Italian designer Giorgio Armani is one of those great masters of the powerhouse red-carpet dress, and the African American starlets he has dressed over the years compliment his restrained elegance and celebration of true Hollywood glamour. Just in time for the Oscar's this Sunday Armani is unveiling an retrospective of dresses worn by the likes of Beyonce (pictured in Armani at the 2010 Grammy's), Halle Berry, Mary J. Blige and Alicia Keys. Check out some of the stunning looks that will be on display at the Armani flagship store in New York City. We can only wait to see who will be wearing Armani at the Oscar's.
