Milan Fashion Week S/S 2012: Womenswear
Marni
A captivating layer story emerged at Marni's spring show, where sheaths of nude tulle provided a calming foil for the season's zany colours and prints. Designer Consuelo Castiglioni started slowly, using bright solids like lemon yellow and baby blue, then quickly amped things up to a rocking multicoloured daisy print and magnificent Christmas tinsel-covered floral brocade. The shapes were all retro: trapeze dresses, A-line skirts, ladylike waists. But the prim aspects of the 1960s contrasted with that era's subversive tendencies, which Castiglioni interpreted in a contemporary way. Enormous door-knocker earrings, pantyhose socks, two-toned brogue heels and collaged leather all brought the collection a present-day edge
