Marni.
Here is a
label I have loved for a long time. “So-wrong-it’s-(maybe)-right”; Marni deals in crazy textile and colour combinations and quirky (if not downright strange)
geometries and proportions. In my head, Consuelo Castiglioni is quite similar to Muccia Prada in the
single-mindedness of her vision for the modern women, designing clothes that
are totally unpredictable and never fall into cliché, always look modern and
contemporary, and are feminine yet strong.
Although
having toyed with sportswear influences in the past, Marni has since
maintained an ever increasing sense of luxury. This season was a case in point.
Fur, nappa and astrakhan dominated, and yes, the distinctive use of layers and
proportion was evident in the juxtaposition of textiles.
There’s not a lot I wish to say about this collection, other than that i love it; even when reflecting the quite sombre of our times, Marni does so with
a strength, individuality, and convictionthat leves many others look fusty, musty, and old.
