But that jewellery and a dress cut with deep armholes were theonly pieces that seemed to fill Consuelo's description of thecollection as "out of scale". In fact, after a couple of seasons taking fashion sculptures tothe max, sometimes as awkward as they were dramatic, thisAutumn/Winter 2016-17 show had deflated in shape - but not inimagination. Picture credit: Indigital I envisaged the designer sitting at her work table among aline-up of coloured pencils, geometric tools, a set square and acompass. With one implement she would have produced archingshoulders and sleeves on a red dress; with another, a wavy patternfor a loose top and trousers. And then the fun of working out theaccessories: the leg spats with a metallic strip on the shoe heelbeneath. And, of course, those earring with their swivellinggeometric circles.

There were still elements of oversize; especially big, regalsleeves ballooning up between elbow and wrist. They gave a touch ofhistorical romance and also a feeling of an artist let loose, whichcould be a description of the designer. Picture credit: Indigital Although Marni no longer focuses on furs, the family company'sstarting point, coloured capelets of fur were worn in aninteresting, historical way, swaddling the chest. This show offered a strong version of what Marni is today:singular, with a twisted romanticism and a quiet, but verydefinite, signature. (责任编辑:admin) |
