Giorgio Armani had three important things to say at Milan Fashion Week: Yes, he can do colours other than grey and beige; no, he is going nowhere; and no, he has not had a nose job.

The first point was made by his Spring/Summer 2016 womenswear collection, an unexpectedly colourful affair suffused by various hues of red (flame, lacquer and geranium).
