Too many looks again.

A few nice dresses but mainly disappointing... sigh.

What a marvelous collection! Great prints and silhouettes. My only complaint is that I think it went on a bit too long, and some of the looks weren't necessary to include.

Is fashion art? Antonio Marras argued in the affirmative, with beautiful results. The designer sent out an exceptional array of hand-painted and embellished gowns in his collection, which was inspired by the whimsical sculptures of Kathy Ruttenberg.

With ecru cotton as his canvas, he brought to life a 3-D garden. Flowers and faces were sketched in black ink; embroidered bees appeared ready to take flight, and scattered throughout were appliquéd petals made from silver leather and perforated pink patent.

“The dress becomes like a canvas to a painter, a blank sheet to a writer or a partition to a musician — in other words, the dress becomes a vehicle for telling a story,” Marras explained backstage.

He grounded his flights of fancy with looks that incorporated bucolic references in photo prints of flowers and 17th-century gardens, sometimes mixed with techno fabrics. Items such as a Fifties-style bustier dress with a mesh back and a patent leather bomber jacket with oversize sleeves gave the designer’s poetic vision a commercial appeal.

one thing i love about this indefinitely are the handpainted prints. they seem very fresh here compared with all the graphic prints we've been seeing over and over again for some seasons now. it's very quintessential marras...romantic,poetic and organic. and it's kind of nice to see marras back on form again after a couple disappointing seasons.

Amazing, love it. Great prints and I thoroughly appreciate their consistency throughout the collection. The silhouettes were lovely and perfect for sprint. I loved the placement of the transparent fabric on the sleeves. Great coats! I loved the vinyl (?) pink one at the beginning. Are the collars removable? How great!
