MARNI CAPSULE FALL 2015 COLLECTION

Marni presents a trans-seasonal capsule collection that expresses a precise and individual inspiration, autonomous from both the catwalk show and the pre-collection. Consuelo Castiglioni conceived it as a mood-board through which she can express a definite feeling with a concise message. It is a style playground: young, incisive, fast, seductive.

The collection, pervaded by hints to Sixties couture, with riffs of a Woodstock vibe, has a playful undertone. Fur recurs throughout, in the form of collars, boas or tail pendants on accessories, as an amusing accent. Outfits swarm in the same motifs, micro or macro, either as prints or jacquards, with typical Marni flair for the mismatch. The silhouette is neat and precise, either mini or midi, while outerwear marries tailored exactitude with an insouciant attitude. Layered onto short dresses or tailored to-the-calf skirts, knitted pieces have a familiar charm. The knitted vests over shirts suggest a propriety that is  contradicted by the injection of patent python and toned up by the romantic buttercup prints. Bonded satin dresses are embroidered with flying birds. 

The palette is mysterious and sugary: tones of green, skin and dusty pink with accents of burgundy, lime and rust. Fabrics are compact yet light: bonded cotton/silk; double silk/cotton, georgette, light jersey. Accessories mix the graphic with the romantic: cut-out boots, printed wedges, clutches and the iconic Trunk swarming in flowers.

Marni Capsule Fall 2015 is available now at Marni stores and at selected multi-brand retailers and department stores as well as on Marni.com
