Milan:  Fashion Week – Marni S/S 2013.   Firmness. Sparseness as elegance.  The new Marni S/S 2013 collection is a weightless exploration of volume.  Form is reduced to its pure essence, laid bare to expose the precision of the cut and beauty of the fabric.

Marni S/S 2013. Straight and round are juxtaposed just as the front and the back are: a square top is paired with a flared skirt.  Prints highlight and gently distort the neatness of the design.  Checks and sequences of sliced dots have the hypnotic rhythm of Anni Albers Bauhaus experiment.
