Blumarine may have taken a bow from our
thriving shopping scene. Yet, fans of Anna Molinari have nothing to worry about
as Taipei and Hong Kong are just a flight away if they want to fulfil their Blumarine cravings.
At the recent Fall/Winter 2012
presentation, the vintage air swathed the runway stage.
Past fashion notions
dating back to the times when the likes of Bardot (Brigitte, not the disbanded
Australian pop group) and Barbarella ruled the pop stratosphere, were probably
the muse of this collection.
The show was opened with canary yellow fur
coat that’s fluffy and almost of the Sesame
Street’s Big Bird proportion. Under the coat is a
magnificent all white ensemble with leg-cinching trousers, sporty silvery
high-top lace-up sneakers and a fluffy fur bag of similar epic proportion as
the coat.
This was followed by a slew of similar permutations in different
hues. The parade ensued with more après-ski looks — furry coats and jackets,
sheen surfaces, edgy high-top lace-up sneakers and leg-hugging pants (or on one
ensemble, a velvety hot pants worn over off-white leggings).
From an all-winter wonderland offerings
that rest assured, the Snow Queen would have no qualms on spending every dime
for the entire collection, the tone of the show subsequently changed to sophistication
and a dash of space age edginess.
Black halter neck dress with thigh-high slit
opened the way for metallic-drenched pieces in all sorts of variants which
certainly harked back to the “cyber fever” trend circa late 1990s. Last but not
least, plethora of lively colours and rather, summer-appropriate silhouettes
took over the stage, with major highlights include multicoloured jacket worn
over a glittery chartreuse dress and tow-piece bandeau bikini set with metallic
lapelled vest, as seen on Cara Delevigne.
Blumarine’s Fall/Winter 2012 ready-to-wear
and accessories collections will be available at all Blumarine boutiques and
mixed brand stores by the third quarter of this year.
