You mention
Blumarine, and flowers immediately come to mind. And with flowers, a certain
romanticism, which in the past has been flung in every direction, from the
overtly emotional to the carnally sensual. This season, Anna Molinari, the
force of nature behind the label, decided to convey pictorial atmospheres,
opting, surprisingly, for a restrained tone. Restraint à la Molinari, that is.
She titled the collection In Bloom, and there were flowers aplenty in the form
of embellishment, appliqué, and thread embroidery. They were all colorful and
tactile, but they didn't come with a sense of déjà vu. Molinari got rid of the
flaps, the frills, and vintage-y feel of the past to concentrate on neat, fast
shapes, and a pervasive weightlessness. You could almost detect a sporty
inspiration in the T-shirt dresses and tank tops, or the pleated miniskirts
that hung on the hips; legs were prominently on display.
