Carta E Costura F/W 08.09 Rome

[kiddokiddo]

Thank you, susiebubble for the head up about this label.
Alessandra Carta, the designer behind the brand, takes the concept of ‘luxury’, something that may seem quite otherworldly and slightly alienating to a new generation of fashion consumers and makes it modern by keeping things ‘understated’. After winning the 2007 ‘Who is On Next’ competition, they have won stockists like Gio Moretti in Milan and Harvey Nichols in London. Their AW08-9 collection is described as a ‘neo-urban women’s fashion’ evolved from ‘neo-romantic futuristic shapes’, reminiscent of the 60s’ and 80s’.

I'm quite impressed with this small and focused collection, great color palette, love the purple, the loose, cocoon top proportion, wonderful textures, and the hats just steal the show really

I like it, but it's a little monotonous...still, some good pieces here
