Marni Fall 2011 Collection
Luxe fabrics and prints galore took over at the Marni Fall 2011 showcased in Milan this past week. Designer Consuelo Castiglioni's mantra was "severe elegance." Inspiration for this collection came from the elegance of contemporary dancer Martha Graham and from modern architecture. Castiglioni said, "I want to go back to the start, with simplicity and discipline." That was demonstrated through long clean lines paired with fluidity and femininity that all showed a more streamlined sensibility than the usual Marni pieces.
