Rarely does reality live up to expectation, but today that rare
moment came to pass. Massimiliano
Giornetti lived up to what has always been known about him and that is he is a world
class designer. It is my experience that when designers don’t try to be trendy
and hot and they focus on their strengths, the end result is usually something
that demands attention.
the Italian runways and that is wearable salable clothes.
While the edict is clear, many designers are either not sure what that means or
are unable to deliver the goods. Signor Giornetti not only gets it... he truly
presented a modern 21 century collection that includes all the DNA he has built
since taking the helm a few a years ago and he did it with a collection that
makes its point quickly and moves on.
It is well known he is a fabric freak and it
is well known he has the taste and abilities that it takes to show that wearable,
inviting, ageless and salable do no
equate with boring and tired. These clothes are fresh, inspired and worthy of
note. No matter what the pundits may say, I stick to my gungs here and will
continue my adulation for this man. I am sure there is some back story for
inspiration etc. but once again it can be said that thee clothes speak for themselves
and are not in need of the blah blah blah.
High points
here are the “ikatish” leopard pieces, the leather renderings, the ease of
shape, and the all over soigne tone of the collection. A HUGE favorite is that cardigan
croco coat that is in my estimation, the height of chic. Basically, to me, this
is a collection that spells out success on every level
Grazie
mille and Bravo to you Signor Giornetti for delivering a high point of the collections
so far. I have the greatest confidence that
it will be repeated season after season henceforth.
