Famous Fashion 2012: Marni

Here is the video of the official announce of the Marni collaboration with H&M for s/s 2012.

After the Versace for H&M in march there will be another great designer such as Consuelo Catiglioni which will make a limited collection for the Swedish fast fashion company. Jimmy Choo, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli, Viktor & Rolf, Comme des Garçons, Matthew Williamson, Sonia Rykiel, Lanvin and Versace. These brand are the ones which have collaborate with H&M and sometimes they make amazing collection like Verscae of CdG, sometimes they didn't like V&R. However the amazing thing about Marni is that this brand is maybe one of the brand which makes the rgeatest prints. If we want to think about amazing prints we must think about Pucci, Prada, Proenza Schouler, Burberry, Dries Van Noten, Diane Von Furstenberg and Marni. Marni makes also wonderful bag and shes. Consuelo Castiglioni said that she wants to show again her collection in a cheaper way...If she will really make this I'm sure that this will be the most appreciated collection, even more than Versace.

I posted also some pictures of the s/s and f/w 2012 collections to show you some of the amazing prints which are the main feature of Marni. I love its flowers, its bags but I can't understand the shoes. However, I love Marni and I'm looking forward for seeing this collaboration.

It's really complicated to speak about Marni because is not a brand that every season is cool. Some seasons is the most trendy brand and other ones is almost "invisible". But I believe that with the cut-off leather accessories (shoes and bags) purposed this winter the brand had riacquired all its popularity.

I think that would be stupid to speak about "beautiful" or "ugly", for this collection, because Marni is a kind of brand that or you like it or you don't like it and it's complicate to say, in general, "amazing" or "wonderful".

However, I find the collection a bit new, even for this brand, because the geometries and prints are mixed with oversize and destructured jackets/skirts. The fur details are "maximalism style" (to quote Miuccia Prada) and the main elements of Consuelo Castiglioniì's style are "mix'n'match" to develop a glamourous woman that cares a lot about accessories (especially bags) but doesn't forget to think about patterns of clothes. The main prints are check, stripes, retrò-patterns, color blocking. The shearling jackets are revamped with fluo color and squared shapes.

About the shoes are the "classic Marni shoes": completely unwearable, for me, but so right for these outfits.
