- Milan Fashion Week Fall 2012
The orchestra music and dim lighting set the tone for the show as models stepped through a gold-leafed Baroque picture frame. The Sicilian art work and baroque inspired collection began with mostly dark pieces which quickly became adorned by ornate gold trim along the neck, sleeves and hemlines. Soon after the skirts became voluminous with elaborate belts cinching the waists. Blouses made of frilly white lace were introduced midway through while still maintaining a black base. Finally there was a mini explosion of colour in the form of heavily detailed cherub tapestry prints. Overall there was a demure ladylike vibe to the collection with skirts skimming the knee and capes completing many looks. The looks were complete with accessories like jewel encrusted headbands, pearl adorned bags, black Madonna like veils and oversized gold jewelry.
