MARNI The collection described in the designer's fashion notes as a "contemporary take on couture fashion," centers around coordination. Everything blends together, from the dress or skirt, to the tops, to the two-tone cardigans, which accompanied many of the outfits. Intricate embroidery with raffia, tulle and little round disks, enhance the sophisticated feel of the collection. Jewelry at Marni is larger than life, with heavy use of geometric and floral shapes. CAVALLI In a surprise shift of fashion gears, Roberto Cavalli, known for his racy styles, chose sweet over sexy for next season. His latest collection was dotted with embroidered mini gowns, reminiscent of an imaginary "couture Barbie," especially when shown off by the long-legged, demurely coifed models. There were also plenty of shimmery shorts and cropped jackets in the collection for Barbie to change into after the ball. But be not fooled. As designer Cavalli said after the show, "Naivite is not part of my vocabulary." |
