the embroidered knitwear is amazing, like the last outfit, seems to be a nice and weareable collection. Thanks for posting
I really like the 6267 duo
 
Not bad at all! I like the fur coat in the second photo in N°2. And I also like the catwalk itself! ^_^
 
I like this collection, the styling is good!

Review from style.com
NEW YORK, February 4, 2008 – Fall found Roberto Rimondi and Tommaso Aquilano and their models going around in circles. The show was held on an oval catwalk, and there was a round-and-round theme to embellishments and patterns.

The rings worked well on a printed silk dress with subtle circular insets, and on a series of short, full skirts that managed to look modern and not retro fifties. But when the circle motifs were applied to thicker knits, the result was a heavy pod structure that overwhelmed the frail models at times. Although the Italian designers were hoping to capture an oceanic-tribal vibe, the result was more cyborg.

There was ambition here. The celestial details scattered throughout were inspired by the bull's-eyes and starry canvases of Richard Pousette-Dart, a pioneering abstract expressionist whose work Aquilano discovered at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. And the hand-treated angoras looked incredibly soft, like gossamer swansdown. ("We're trying to make knitwear that doesn't fit the conception of what knitwear looks like," the designers explained, through a translator, before the show.) But however well-crafted the clothes were, in the end they were overwhelmed by the concept.
