New Fashion 2008: Blumarine Fall 2008

MILAN, Feb 23, 2008 / FW/ — For Blumarine, Anna Molinari’s premiere line, the Italian design maestro revisited the label’s core values, took the aesthetics that defined it, then reinvented it, resulting to a magnificent reinterpretation of her own work.

To Blumarine fans, the label is just perfect. And who can blame them? How can you improve on perfection? Anna Molinari did – by combining the grammar of elegant dressing with that ever-elusive allure while adding touches of our ‘plug-n-play’ high-tech world.

Case in point, the deceptively simple pink ruche dress was paired with a quilted down ski jacket trimmed with fur. How cool is that?

It’s formal and informal combined. It’s elegant yet rebellious at the same time. Anna Molinari just added new rules in the grammar of elegant dressing with this collection.

With colors in chromatic shades of yellow, peach, turquoise, strawberry, white and lilac, it is an ultra-femme collection. The use knee-high boots and duvet jackets add a masculine edge to it, thus the collection is not too girly and makes it attractive to the members of the Cashmere Mafia or the denizens of the Lipstick Jungle.
