Good afternoon, Monday. I'm out in Palm Springs where it's hot (a dry heat) and we're doing a photoshoot and having a lovely time. But even though the sky is blue and the palms are majestic and the pool is the perfect temperature, I find myself distracted by the endless photos from Milan as Fashion Week marches on. There's the usual decadent offerings from Dolce and Gabbana, the usual gauzy, diaphony of Alberta Ferretti, and then, then there's Marni. BOW DOWN.
Although I can only claim two pairs of sandals, I'd like to think I am a Marni girl through and through. Her exceptional arty silhouettes are simply my thing. I adore this collection- its ease, its muted palette, its quiet. I want to wear almost all of it, and here are few of my favorite pieces. I can't get enough of the pajama panted look above, and those shorter skirt lengths are a way to do short without feeling weird.
There's so much elegance here- to some these may indeed look too uniform, too staid, but to me they are beautiful and perfect and supremely modern. She did some other lovely prints as well, whole collection here but these were my fav pieces. And since it's the 20th anniversary of the brand, the depth of looks felt like a great nod to the past with a foot very much in the future. Just loved it- quite possibly my favorite collection of everything so far. I'm a humble fan of this new femininity emerging on the runways- maybe designers are realizing that women really want to feel comfortable in clothes that showcase their inner beauty as well as their outer beauty- well done over at Marni if you ask me and looking forward to wearing some version of these looks in the very near future. Cause that's what's up this Italians do it better kind of Monday in Palm Springs, baby. Yours, in a more mindful approach to dress. XO
