Menichetti turned instead to cornflower blue, all shades of beige and muted greens. Hand-tailored leather jackets were tucked into paneled skirts with a double waistband; silk skirts and shirts looked clean and fresh without a button in sight. But some trousers, featuring a sporty stripe down the side, and a couple of casual tops bearing a "BP" logo (Burberry Prorsum, not British Petroleum) seemed out of place, as did the odd obi belts that cinched many looks.
In general the clothes were well-tailored and constructed, but the collection as a whole was somewhat confusing. When you consider that it was done by an Italian designer working with Eastern references for a traditional English house, it's not hard to imagine why.
