MARNI - Company insight

After seeing the beautiful collection by Marni this season i decided to delve a little deeper and discover a bit more about the company itself.



For the most recent collection model's wore a two-tone leather aviator skull cap and a clear retro sporty element was present through out the show. Adding stylish oddities; tea strain mesh necklaces and sturdy rubber soled sandals.


Marni is known for his eclectic style, packing every collection with a mix of different techniques and layering of garments to gain the signature Marni look.

Looking at the collections by marni they have a clear color theme continuously running though out the seasons. the contemporary mix of earthy brights and white, give the garments that modern edge to the looks, Garment cuts are often of simple cut but the all detailing is thought in thought the use of textile, print and shaping.

this is the interior of the Marni store in London, Sloane Street. An original conceptual way to present the collection.

Marni is an Italian fashion label founded by Consuelo Castiglioni in 1994, who has always been the label's designer. Marni has recently risen to prominence as women have turned away from overtly sexy clothing to designs emphasizing color, print, and shape.

Block Bold's

Paris is well underway, how will it compare with New York, London and Milan?

Milan week brought us all the big Italian names and some clear trends emerged...




Albino, Brioni, Gucci, Jil Sanders, Marni, Prada

There is a undeniable palette trend, orange and salmon tones are appearing everywhere!


Marni


Marni's Aviator inspired collection featured a wide range of textile and contemporary jewelery. Necklaces feature metal mesh rounded necklace detailing, the collection contains so many different elements which all work well together. The lazer cut dots in leather outwear completely move the looks away from looking overtly aviator.

Milan Fashion Week, comes to an end!

Milan ended a few days ago, so its time for a catch up on what happened...

The unusual fringeing featured in Marco De Vincenzo's collection added a really nice detailing. bringing pixelated florals into 3D textures. Floral's also featured pixelated prints created using crystal studding.

PRADA



Prada is often a brand i end up over looking, its so big and in your face everywhere you turn there is a Prada Advertisement, I just end up becoming immune to it in an actual fashion context but the s/s 2011 collection is really exciting and inspiring!



Using a eclectic mix of sources to influence the collection really created something very original.
references ranged from hospital scrubs to seventeenth-century cherubs to Jazz Age superwoman Josephine Baker. Fishing around for an alternative to "fresh," she herself came up with "brave, bold, and obvious"—that last one a typical head-spinner.(style.com)

Jonathan Saunders - Prints


The colour pallet and scratchy torn way paint look prints create a great impact.



Saunders worked with Pop artist Alan Jones to create the prints..

Rodartewedges

The abstract sequin print of these trousers are great!



Dazed Digital: What did you look towards for inspiration this season?
Rodarte: Northern California!

DD: There were lots of pieces that look armour of some sort…
Rodarte: I can promise you, if you’ve ever been to Northern California, you would know what I’m talking about…

DD: How does this compare to last season?
Rodarte: Last season was languid and soft, this one was about nature.
