Marni A/W 2013/14 Ready-to-Wear

    Yet again, I manage to stumble across designer, Marni. I truly think that her work is remarkable and the catwalk I discovered was from Milan Fashion Week back in 2013. Nonetheless, this collection screams elegance and texture, which is going down similar roots as to what I want to do for this project because I think it relates well to both 'structure' and 'attachment'. Vogue quotes,
       "A minimalist and fashion-forward take on Where The Wild Things Are, this was another of Milan's fur-filled shows…"It's austere but with a romanticism, it's melancholic, severe," described Consuelo Castiglioni after the show"" 

 




      The two examples above are absolutely flawless in my eyes, I love how the fabric drapes across the models body giving the garment length and yet again, elegance but still in a more male approach with the style and shape of the garment pieces. Moreover, the colours are obviously mono and work really well with our current theme and I think it makes the collection stand out to a great extent. I really do like the idea of working with fur, in which I got inspiration from J. Mendel from his most recent collection at New York Fashion Week S/S 2015. On top of this, there are many varieties of textures which I could include in my project, not just fur. Although, I haven't had any proper experience with it so I would like to sample some swatches so that I could get more of an idea on how to use it and how it can manipulate on a sowing machine. Overall, I have defiantly swerved towards the elements of textures for this theme and I think my interest will develop even further after I complete next weeks workshop creating knitwear samples.
