I like how the draping mimicks brushstrokes. With the depth of color and that textural quality, the garment needs no embellishments to make its statement. But the florals are beautiful, too. And the pastel and neutral palette is breathtaking and off-kilter, like Marni F/W 08. This collection in many ways takes the best parts of recent Milanese trends and puts it all together relatively well. I know people usually lump Blumarine's taste level in with the ilk of D&G and Cavalli, but this shows that Anna Molinari's stock in trade isn't vulgarity, it is merely exuberance.
