Fabrics: 
|
The next season calls on fabrics which are opaque, transparent, shiny and bright. And, above all, they're light something close to non-existent, obsessively transparent, layer upon filmy layer with co-ordinated fluffy knits and both fluid and rigid fabrics. Cashmere is everywhere, in the good company of lightweight woollens and costly materials. Organza makes a great splash along with tulle, lace, elegant luxury fabrics combined with glittering chantilly, crushed velvet, jersey with lurex and iridescent cady.

Gianfranco Ferré: Unusually eclectic and fluid is Gianfranco Ferrè's fall line. Cuts are simple, with a lot of movement and lines are determined by the fabrics themselves. Grey taffeta, super-lightweight jeans with metallic laminate. Mariella Burani: "Going for box pleats, for every imaginable variation on the collegiate skirt like the one in chalky, see-through fabric". Fendi: "The furs are disguised as fabric: they've been cut so very, very short and worked such that a glance would fool anyone". Versace: Metallic organza, cashmere with plastic appliqués to give it a startling new image, chiffon riddled with computer-style holes. Donatella Versace "To reflect the joy of the millennium, I needed light, the sun's rays a dose of flash." |
