Iceberg

MILAN, September 26, 2009
By Nicole Phelps
The theme of Iceberg's Spring collection? Mickey Mouse on safari. The cartoon mice that appeared as emblems on loosely knit sweaters and as a jacquard on a miniskirt seemed to please the children in the Saturday afternoon audience tremendously, but how a grown woman might rationalize such a purchase isn't quite clear. And as for the mouse-ear shoulders on coats and jackets, they were too close to the Dolce & Gabbana collection of a year ago not to notice.

The safari portion of the show, on the other hand, produced some viable pieces. Epauleted coat-dresses in black or olive drab linen looked sharp and gimmick-free, and leopard-print camouflage dresses had a slinky vibe. A cropped, fitted jacket laced together from squares of leather was cool, too. The takeaway: Next time, skip the kids' stuff.
