Francesca Marotta entitled her Autumn Winter 2012 collection ‘Amore della mia Vita’ and we can say for sure that the collection lives up to its delightfully Italian melodramatic name.<\/p>\n
Pale widows, Mater Dolorosa figures evolving in the most dramatic way on the catwalk, in a succession of very long and dark silhouettes with Christic accessories in fluorescent plastic, such as translucent red graphic thorn crowns or bright yellow thorn-shaped earrings (jewellery by Milko Boyarov). A further Christic touch was brought in by the hair, with backcombed locks tied around the head in the way of a thorn crown.<\/p>\n
The collection is an ode to Sicilian women mourning their lost loves. The black and red lace dresses with dramatically long trains were literally breath-taking, like of a slow procession in the narrow, winding streets of a small Sicilian town.<\/p>\n
Francesca Marotta offers once again, for her second season at London Fashion Week, a very grown-up yet playful collection with high quality fabrics such as wool, lace, cashmere, brocade, silk, hand knits and leather.<\/p>\n
