RESORT COLLECTION 2015

 

 

Individuality and eclecticism. Different worlds that merge and collide. The richness of diversity that is integral to the Marni aesthetic runs through the Resort 2015 collection. Sport and couture, the dynamism of short, geometric shapes and painterly flower prints, density and lightness are woven together with distinctive ease and a strong graphic touch.

 

A spontaneous energy charges the outfits, conveying an idea of luxurious athleticism. The silhouette is effortless, neat, fast. Geometric intarsia characterize the short dresses, the zip-up polo tops worn with a-line minis, the coat-dresses and leather pieces. Blooming motifs have a textural appeal: dense jacquards run on blousons and bermudas; bonded appliqué flowers decorate leather shifts. Colorful regatta stripes run rhythmically, further highlighting the sophisticated yet sporty feel: on crew neck tops with asymmetric hems matched with chiffon skirts creating layered, airy shadows; along the sides of wide trousers. The stress on firmness is balanced by a quest for softness: crepe de chine or chiffon tops worn with matching skirts are finished with crochet; long printed dresses or polo tunics paired with slim trousers have a fluid ease. Sculptural ruffles and embroideries decorate the agonistic short dresses.

 

The color palette is dense and personal: tones of rust, deep purple, deep green, aqua, and then cream, white and black with accents of primary brights. Fabric alternate compact firmness with impalpable airiness: bonded printed raffia, couture cotton, jacquard silk, bonded leather, cady, silk crepe, silk chiffon. Exotic flower prints and geometric motifs have a gestural quality:  Mokara orchids, fosteriana branches, big moonflowers alternate with bold stripes and intricate brushstrokes.

 

The collision of sport and couture also characterizes the accessories: technical running shoes closed with velcro straps, patent intarsia flats and hi-heels, fussbett sandals and kabuki-soled flats with fringes. Bags are small and structured or capacious and soft: the iconic Trunk is presented in opaque leather, while the Pod and City bags are interpreted in luxurious plain skins or geometric intarsia. Bijou have geometric shapes highlighted by resin rhinestones. Leather or resin layers draw shapes of flowers on necklaces and broaches. Geometric buckles close the belts.
