Marni S/S 2020 Milan

[jeanclaude]

This feels as if a little child got into his mother wardrobe, and he just begun painting and destroying all her clothes. And when the mother discovers the disaster, the child smiles all covered in paint...and barefooted.

A poor’s Man Junya Watanabe SS09 collection. I’m going to pass on that...
Tbh, I don’t even know why I bother looking at his stuff...It’s not like i’m going to buy Marni ever again.

At least, he is happy! Creative Freedom at his finest.

It looks like he was sniffing the paints while designing the collection.

Can you image how technical blueprints must look for mess like this?

 

[GreyVetiver]

Marni used to be one of the few brands I looked forward to seeing in Milan...

Definitely one of the worst shows... OF ALL TIME, up there with Lindsey Lohan and the Ungaro collab .

You guys need to let that go, it wasn’t that bad!!!

For me Kanye West SS2012 was more disastrous than Lindsay’s collection...

I can name so many bad collections before that one! Remember the Circus Dior collection by Gaytten?

Leave Lindsay alone!lol

Yes it was and this is coming from being in this business for many years and being a forum member for 13 years.

Oh, I really thought her collection wasn't that bad. I mean it was bad but it wasn't done poorly.

As for this collection, he definitely has complete creative freedom but my eyes hurt. These colors. Good lord. What I can't seem to connect with his collection is that it doesn't feel authentic, unlike the old Marni. The fun feels forced.

RIP Marni that I know.

UGH, THIS!! What happened to our beautiful architectual Marni. [Weeps].

Well, I’ve been a forum member for 15 years and have my own history in the industry and I fully agree with Sally Singer’s review on vogue.com, which is contrary to your opinion so backing it up by citing how many years you’ve been posting here is moot.

I mean, I totally understand why you all hate it. There are a lot of faux pas of conventional good taste that are being committed here. But I think he's been bit sly and smart about how he's committing them.

Pulling the looks a part in my head and thinking of it in terms of pieces, there's a lot of fun, saucy, easy things to wear here.

The prints are even starting to grow on me.

Sally Singer's review on vogue.com is worth a read even if you won't agree with her.

 

[Lola701]

The irony about this is that his Marni womenswear is not selling well at all. So I wonder what’s the project behind all that mess...
To risk everything and loose a faithful clientele to not even turn things around...What a waste!

As others have mentioned, it’s sooo Junya Spring 2009.

I liked what this guy did the first 2-3 seasons at Marni, but he’s gone off the rails at this point. I personally thought his debut was good and I also really liked the cat-print collection.

He is clearly capable of making some good clothes, but they’re buried under the laborious and heavy handed “quirkiness” and “naïf” styling and presentation. There needs to be restraint and practicality.

My favorite thing about this are Julien's hair stylings - it's an entire fantasy, looks like they came straight out of Roversi's dreamy fairy-tale themed Couture supplement editorials of Vogue Italia.

 

[YohjiAddict]

I'm kind of liking it to be honest, I was ready to hate judging by the thumbnails but the textures and construction of the garments caught my eye once I spent some minutes with it. I'm a sucker for ragged hemlines and elongated silhouettes, those looks are right up my alley. I also like the oversized black coat with that crazy lining. Those last few dresses, however, have hideous color combinations, and this collection would be much better without them.

It does feel like the lesser sister of CdG or Junya as has been noted, and I don't see where you could find a client for some of this stuff, still it entretained me. Kudos to Julien d'Ys for the hairstyling, there's more personality to them than to many collection we've seen so far.

P.S: It's so weird to suddenly see a girl who went to middle school with you walk Marni. Caught me off-guard...

 

[tatouejeremie]

i like that a brand like marni talks about sustainability/save the planet but does it really mean anything when they're producing clothes that no-one is buying even at 70% off?
and is he using organic cotton etc? i doubt it.

So is your point, I would not really merit paid reviews on Vogue as an argument (albeit a rather poor one)

 

[gossiping]

I liked some bits of last season but this is too mad

 

[GivenchyHomme]

Was vomit the inspiration? I could handle the prints if the pieces were immaculately constructed, however they look sloppy and frumpy. The techniques used are so heavy handed and obvious. The one area he did excel in was the knitwear which is always fabulous at Marni. The prints are hideous and may I say even matronly? Then the flip flops... NO. I get what he was going for, but it was badly done. If you’re going to go for this kind of look it has to be light and nonchalant and never obvious. That’s what separates the real artists and the amateurs. We know which one he is.

 

[perfect blue]

I’m not mad at him coming out barefoot. I just have questions.
