You could forgive fashion king Giorgio Armani the absence of capes at his Emporio show, after pop diva Madonna blamed one of his creations for her fall at the Brit Awards this week.

The white-haired grandfather of fashion looked unrepentant as he took his bow for a lively autumn/winter 2015 collection based on a palette of soft blues, vibrant pinks, reds and purples, rounded off with a host of bewitching black looks.
