There is seldom a collection that makes me sit up, put down my latte and study every look using the 'zoom' function. Yes, I may gush and gasp on this blog and use every adjective under the sun to describe clothes that take my fancy, but to love, no, to achingly adore every look in a collection must mean it's a good'un. Not saying that I am Anna Wintour or some other kind of authority, but you know, I do like to think I have a good eye for fashion.
And the latest collection - autumn/winter 2013's offerings - from the design duo Federico Piaggi and Stefano Citron who headline this Italian House is so up my street, SO ME, so amazing, I couldn't not share it with you all.
Twists, turns, folds, big lapels, obi-style belts. Power stomping, floaty dresses with a particularly hard-girl edge, straight leg trousers with power blouses tucked in - a look I think EVERY girl should try at least once in their lives, and a collection of coats that feature boxy, masculine shapes, some waist-belted fierceness and oversized lapels.
I mean, can it get any better?
Yes, you might confuse this and some past Ferre collections with those of the origami king, Haider Ackermann, but if you ask me, you can NEVER have too much of this kind of fashion.
It is, as ever, SO ME!
