Warren Noronha
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
LONDON, February 20, 2002
By Sarah Mower
Sexy pinstripes may sound like a contradiction in terms, but that's Warren Noronha's contribution to the new interest in tailoring that is taking off in London. In a slick show on a mirrored runway, Noronha struck a blow for the much neglected pantsuit, recutting it without any of the uptight corporate connotations it’s attracted over the past decade.Erin O'Connor set the tone when she strode out wearing a pinstripe bustier with a foulard flounce at the front and matching pants—not exactly career dressing, but drop-dead elegant from head to toe. Other versions had jackets, again with bias cutting falling in subtle folds in front. Noronha said he'd persuaded Savile Row tailors to get him the best menswear material to work with. "I'm trying to make old things fashionable," he said. "You can do anything if you cut it outrageously enough." Noronha, an ex-assistant of Antonio Berardi, also believes in dresses. For this show, some were also done in pieced pinstripes, with corseted midsections, others in silk draped to fall in dippy asymmetrical hemlines. A kimono theme featuring ultrawide sleeves slightly overwhelmed some pieces but, in all, this was a collection that showed conviction and growing accomplishment.
