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:
The tulle petal covered baseball jacket and cascades of ruffles on the front of full-skirted dresses.
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:
Cruise through a cherry blossom lined avenue, while riding a skateboard.
Least likely to:
Deter the Marni diehards, especially with the abstracted bird and blossom graphic print.
Accessories:
Best visors of the season thus far - curved and bejewelled - and Japanese geta-esque platform sandals.
Viral moment:
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.
Soundtrack:
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.
