Maurizio Pecoraro
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
MILAN, March 1, 2009
By Nicole Phelps
Maurizio Pecoraro is one of Milan's most baroque designers. He can't resist the romance of sequins, nor, ahem, the siren call of gold and silver Lurex. In a season of don't-mess-with-me biker babes, he really had a chance to drive home his uniquely frilled and furbelowed message—and the grand seventeenth-century Palazzo Litta, where his show was held, was well chosen to provide a helpful assist. A nail-studded charcoal gray suit and a black bubble coat with stiff ruffles curling down the front were among the most inventive pieces. But a strong hand with embellishments does not a cohesive statement make, and the clothes had a hard time living up to the extravagantly sumptuous setting. Until the finale, that is, when Pecoraro sent out a parade of models in sharp-looking tuxedo pants and embellished black or ivory blouses, each of them different and each a little gem.
