Spring brought the usual from long-running Italian fashion house
Krizia: animal motifs, slinky sequined gowns and inventive leather
pieces sometimes all at once. This season's animal inspo of choice was
the tiger, and it showed up everywhere from a turquoise sleeveless maxi
dress to mesh/sequin pants to a simple tee, where the animal is depicted
slinking among tall grass. Cheetah print and cheetah likenesses showed
up on dresses and T-shirts too, those these animal-derived looks weren't
Krizia's most successful.
White leather was used to great effect in this collection, with
geometric cut-outs and used to make a deep-V neckline jumpsuit and
jackets relaxed and fitted. Four looks utilized a neat 90s-esque ice
blue metallic fabric (a full skater skirt, a robe seemingly inspired by
those worn by boxers) and were a nice jolt. Other looks that alternated
sheer and opaque fabrics of the same color were also quite nice think a
nipped-waist dress with solid body, sheer sleeves and neckline. The last
two metallic looks scalloped and collaged vest with matching pants, a
revealing pleated-skirt dress—were just plain pretty and kind of have us
hankering for an upscale Italian event to which to wear them.
