As we all know, VOGUE sets fashion; if it’s in VOGUE, it’s on. A few months ago I was going through Vogue.fr (my personal favorite) and, in the section of “Croisière 2013”, I found on top of the page a picture of a look that belonged to a kind of style I certainly hadn’t seen before; the name on the image? Marni. I didn’t pay much attention to it because I was looking for Chanel, but the word “Marni” kept repeating itself over and over in my mind. A couple of weeks ago I bought this month’s edition of VOGUE and in one note about Eva Mendez, I saw a picture of a shoe that reminded me of Chloé with a bit of Blanhik; guessed the fashion label? Marni.
What happened next? I decided my next entry on
this blog was going to be about Marni, and here it is.
What should you know about Marni? It’s
relatively a young fashion label and it is so, a fashion label, not couture.
The designer has been Consuelo Castiglioni from the start and, as the name
suggests, it’s Italian.
Marni’s looks are definitely something to think
about, because the cuts of the clothing are conservative, but the patterns are
something you’d never imagine in such garments; and that, my dear readers, is
exactly what makes it fabulous: the creativity behind the surprise that makes
us say: “Ah!”

| 1) Look 3 |
Here are my top three belonging to, as you may
have deduced by now, Croisière 2013:
1) Look 3. First word that comes to my mind to describe this? Tomboy,
don’t you think? I love the pants, we’re so used to the skinny ones that this
change is definitely for good. The horizontal stripes make the part of the legs
look thicker, but due to the baggy effect, this visual illusion makes us
believe that the legs underneath the pants are actually thinner. The lightness
of the lower part of the outfit contrast perfectly with the vivid colors on the
upper one: the hot & cold of the chemise is always a good choice (red +
blue). The vertical lines on the chemise make the upper part of the body look
longer and slimmer. The detail on the neck is really a nice touch. I wouldn’t
wear the brooches, though.

| 2) Look 2 |
2) Look 2. As you may know by now I love transparencies, and this skirt
looks just gorgeous. The A –Cut makes the waist look smaller, and the belt
precisely on the waist, helps out the effect. This double division, one marked
by the belt and one marked by the top of the skirt, make the upper part of the
body look longer. The chemise is cute, but what really pumps it up is the
brooch. I love the long socks and I certainly would give a try to those
moccasin-wedges, the next “it” style talking about shoes, perhaps?

| 3) Look 1 |
3) Look 1. I didn’t know how much I liked the pink-deep blue-white combo
‘til I saw this; it’s beautiful! The coat is super classy and I love the
buttons on both sides of it. The chemise is pretty, again with vertical lines
in the middle of it. The skirt up to the waist makes her look thinner but due
to the socks, she also looks shorter (which is like crazy, because the model is
at least 1.75m). I’m not a big fan of the shoes, too average. The brooch is
amazing. I think what really makes this a knock out is the matching of the
elements, I mean, by themselves they’re great, but together they’re fantastic.
Well, hey! That’s what fashion is all about,
equilibrium of the elements. So, what do you think? Did you like it? If not, I
hope at least you enjoyed reading this and adding more knowledge to your
already wide collection of fashion information.
Thank you so much for reading “I’m Too Editor’s
Choice”, I’m looking forward to next week, do you know why? Because I’ll be
talking about the one designer that made me question my loyalty to La Grande
Mademoiselle!
Shine all over and dream on, crazy diamonds!
