Luca Luca
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
NEW YORK, June 4, 2007
By
Let's hope that the traveling woman for whom Luca Orlandi created his resort collection has better luck with the weather than the designer had today. After a delay caused by New York's driving rain, models clad in sunglasses took to the runway in summery vacation wear, much of it with a twenties touch, a developing theme of the season. A drop-waisted pleated number had the jaunty ease of a tennis dress that Daisy Buchanan might've worn. Drawstrings, likewise, added a sporty look to clothes.Orlandi said the line was designed for a woman who's "in Rome one day and Osaka the other," but his global mix leaned heavily toward Jackie O. in her Capri days. Jacquard coats looked breezy; the same could not be said, though, of the suits, a number of which were on the matronly side. Still, it's not hard to imagine a sophisticate packing some pleated skirts and cardigan-easy jackets or a cream-colored embroidered evening ensemble into her Goyard luggage before jetting off for (fingers crossed) sunnier climes.
