Enjoying the silence, as sound failure makes for concentrated appreciation at Marni
Initial reaction:
Blossoming spring in sporty speed.
References:
Spring's fresh blooms and the ease of sportswear – a prevailing theme of SS14.
Stand out pieces:Â
The tulle petal covered baseball jacket and cascades of ruffles on the front of full-skirted dresses.Â
Unexpected details:
The elegant folds and deep turn-up hems of super-wide trousers, and slipped skirts revealing a sliver of waist and the tops of underwear.
Most likely to:Â
Cruise through a cherry blossom lined avenue, while riding a skateboard.Â
Least likely to:
Deter the Marni diehards, especially with the abstracted bird and blossom graphic print. Â
Accessories:Â
Best visors of the season thus far - curved and bejewelled - and Japanese geta-esque platform sandals.Â
Viral moment:Â
A technological glitch meant that there was no sound and no lights. Models walked without a soundtrack and show goers contemplated the collection in silence. Â
Soundtrack:Â
Only the photographer's pit camera clicks and spontaneous applause for the models who walked to the rhythm of their head.
Left us wanting:
To see more shows in silence. The audience were less distracted and concentrated on the main event - the clothes. Â Â
