Alta Moda Roma S / S 04 (day 2)

[Scott]

That's a mixture of ALL of their collections. And from what I can see,some pieces from Spring 2002(the Japanese kimono inspired collection underneath that bustier)Spring 2003(the shrouded top),Fall 2003(again,the bustier,the shearling sash) and the recent Spring 2004.


I love those ruffle-y petticoat-style skirts and that jacket with all the buttons on the shoulder.

I was full of questions too about the choice of designers. Here's part of one of the Alta Moda press releases providing some explanation:

Sarli had two cute dresses, the red one and the one shoulder white dress,
as for Francesco Scognamiglio maybe the best of the bunch?[/quote]

I agree. We'll see what tomorrow brings!

Celeste All That Jazz

Oooh I love the idea of wearing a petticoat high. Wonder if it'd work with a regular one hmm...Will have to explore...
