The Marni Pre-Autumn 2013 collection is a lovely smorgasbord of textures, fabrics and layers. Marni is a brand that always relies on mixing and matching and its latest presentation is functional and fashionable.
This pre-fall preview features a slew of textural combinations. There is the presence of fur, cloth, leather and silk intermixed in looks. Playful head to toe looks include a tartan skirt paired with a fur/wool overcoat adorned with geometric brooches, blue color-blocked tights and monochromatic pilgrim shoes. Other fantastic highlights from the preview are the kilt-style skirts, the retro light-hued trousers, the angular handbags and polka-dot pant suits.
The Marni Pre-Autumn 2013 collection is an exploration of print, pattern and the merger of materials.
