The fall winter collection of Emporio Armani is very fresh, those new hats are gorgeous. We will have everything in Rome, next September at the via del Babuino boutique. Ready for Shopping! The theme of Black and White, some luminous gray, some turquoise made it extremely feminine and easy at the same time. We saw oversized trouser suits, velvet evening dresses and beautiful hat that King George will sell for sure next winter. The DNA of Emporio Armani is all in a combination of fabrics, a deep study on the shoulders and a mix of soft colours.
Into the wild with Pucci
After opening the store in piazza di Spagna that grand tour shopping covered few monthes ago, Peter Dundas, the norwegian designer of Emilio Pucci, presents his collection in Milano during the fashion week. In the morning, at the press conference, he said that the the Pucci girl is in search of savage chic. For example he worked on Navajo knitwear for ponchos and on wonderful Appaloosa patterns for boots and bags. The elegant part is still there with traditional Pucci patterns that Dundas peaks from the archive in Florence.
Marni and the colour of Italy with a touch of Germany
Consuelo Castiglioni, the designer of Marni surprises us during the Milan Fashion week. Her collection is modern and totally unexpected. What looks heavy is airy, embroideries on jacquard seems light. Neoprene is used for dresses, everything has big volumes, furs are geometric composition with a touch of contemporary art. Consuelo took inspiration from the german artist Magnus Plessen whose style consists in adding and removing sections of paint to define shapes. We will soon see this colourful collection in the roman shop of via Bocca di Leone 8. One of my favourite in town.
