MARNI – f/w 2010
Marni designer Consuelo Castiglioni continually redefines the term “marching to her own beat.” The fall/winter collection that was sent careening out of control down the runway on Sunday morning ( and mind you it was only a bit past 9am ) was as off-kilter as we have ever seen. There are all the usual elements that Marni is known for… eclectic styling, stenciled fur, prints and patterns and beautiful color combinations one would never dream of.BUT… then we were confronted by awkward tops that sometimes appeared with exaggerated peplums paired with a Bermuda shorts, odd abstract face like prints, the knee high sock/hose with heels , upholstery prints in musty-dusty colors, an attempt to play with the pared down aesthetic that was flat. So many ideas… un-managed. Left a lot of us looking at each other as we exited the show with perplexed expressions, a bit of head scratching, some head shaking and a rush to find more coffee.
