Marni’s Spring 2010 collection is more or less a “been there, done that” type collection, with the only aspect not making it a total bore being it’s superb styling. With an overarching androgynous, gypsy, hippie vibe, solid color blocked pieces were layered over simple stripes, checkers and florals, finished off with solid color or striped empire waist belts. As per usual, the shoes are a knockout, adding some awesome cutout platforms, mini heels and sandals to the mix.

Thanks Style!

Coke on the Runway? Yeah, you never see it but you know what’s happening backstage. Oh, wait, Coca Cola?!? Yeah, I guess that makes more sense.

Neck wear is huge this season, from multi-beaded to leather, necklaces are the must have accessory of the fall.

I love the color palette for this collection. It reminds me of an early 90’s grunge movie if that makes sense. They are dark, dismal, and when you least expect it Marni throws in a splash of blue. The patterns are pretty good too!

Marni can do no wrong in my book! What do you think of this little snippet of the Spring 2010 collection?

Not sure how this is S/S 2010 but here it is….

It’s always interesting to see how certain runway pieces translate into event outfits, especially when they are worn by real life women instead of models. I also love that some pieces are altered to be more ‘ready to wear’ which gives them more life, although I must admit that it’s not fair that celebs get to wear collections not yet available for me to purchase. 

Marni is gearing up for Fall with another pretty solid collection. The collection is a solid mix of dress pants with plaids, jumpers and coats. I love how the pants featured above bunch a bit at the knee and continue to be slim to the ankle. The collection definitel has some solid highlight pieces.

Marni released all the images for their upcoming Fall 2009 Collection, and I will say that it is one of my favorites so far. The collection shows a more elegant side to a Marc Jacobs-esque grunge look. The patterns and fabric choices are great, and the way the pieces are styled in these shots is great. I am a big fan of the colored and hiked legging looking pants, and the outwear is very well done.

Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely in love with the patterns, prints, layers and colors used in the Marni S/S 2009 collection, but this styling seen on the runway isn’t exactly practical. The mixing and matching is completely fair game for high fashion runway, but I honestly don’t know a single place I could wear all of these prints and layers without people thinking I got dressed in the dark. Is it just me or is the Marni stylist’s aesthetic unwearable? 

Thanks Spinach Stuff and Popgloss!

Calvin Klein: one word neon. Bright, bold, and requiring sunglasses

Ermenegildo Zegna: classic tailoring in classic neutral summer shades – oh and two pink suits.

Belstaff: Lots of shiny patent macs and plenty of colour to end Milan men’s fashion week.

Trends off the catwalk

THE GOOD

Bow ties – and not a dinner jacket in sight. A little ridiculous but harmless. This is men’s fashion week, let them have their fun.

THE BAD

Orange espadrilles – keep them to the beach love.

THE UGLY

Is a Versace Lamborghini too much? Possibly, but it might just have been the best looking fashion accessory of the week.

People

Armani pulled the big shots in again – this time for his mainline collection, Giorgio Armani. Clive Owen and Adrien Brody graced the front row. Full marks for the biggest A list attendees.

In Jan 2008, Giambattista Valli signed a five-year licensing deal with Ciwifurs, Marni’s parent, to produce and distribute the fur line. Valli introduced 50 looks for pre-fall, treating fur like fabric in terms of construction, shapes, weights and sartorial detail. “The market is very receptive and open to fur these days, especially when it’s treated in a new and modern way,” said Valli, who garnered a significant fur experience during his five-year stay at Fendi. “And Ciwifurs is the best when it comes to high-end furs because it has great artisans and pattern-cutters and they’re open to experimenting.”
European designers are re-imagining fur (read my previous article on fur here), using it for looks with a strong presence that range from a mink dress to a raccoon jacket trimmed with ostrich.
