Milan Fashion Week Fall 2009: Marni

Marni's chief designer Consuelo Castiglioni founded the fashion label only in 1994, but within 15 years, Marni has become a respected fashion brand, with clothing sold in over sixteen countries and annual sales well over $100 million. While going through Marni's Fall 2009 collection, I couldn't help but notice the huge necklaces made of colorful flowers and crystals that the models adorned. Talk about statement jewelry! I feel like they complemented each piece of clothing well and really added color and texture to each outfit. Each piece of clothing whether it be jackets, skirts, or dresses were crafted beautifully and I loved how there was so much texture, which really translated what seems to be a plain dress into something more. Although her color palette was fairly standard with beige, black, and gray, her textural style really transcended the clothing. I really recommend zooming in on those images so you can see what I'm talking about. To view Marni's collection, click here.
