The Split-Second Preview: Blumarine
The Fall ’13 season is now well under way, and as we follow the shows to Milan and Paris, we’ve asked some of the most anticipated names to offer a sneak peek. Naturally, it’s a busy time for everyone—designers and fashion watchers alike—so we’re continuing our split-second previews: tweet-length previews at 140 characters or less. To view all of our Fall ’13 previews, click here.
WHO: Blumarine, designed by Anna Molinari
WHERE: Milan
WHEN: Friday, February 22
WHAT: “New couture, dress in a rose. For Fall, I created petal-shaped sartorial constructions in floral organza for a contemporary woman.” —Anna Molinari. The designer sent us a peek at one of her Fall ’13 fabrics, above.
Designers De-Stress Close to Home
When the fashion week flurry dies down and designers can partake in some R&R, where do they head? While our first guess might involve Learjets and palm fronds, it seems that just getting out of town is the priority—no private plane necessary. We polled some of Milan’s leading ladies of design for their-post show detox plans, and their answers are definitely not jet-set. Angela Missoni, for example, travels for an hour before resting her work-weary legs on the vine-leafed terrace of Borducan, a restaurant and hotel near her hometown of Varese. Blumarine‘s Anna Molinari takes off in her sports car to Forte dei Marmi, a seaside town frozen in the 1950′s, while Alberta Ferretti prefers hitting the slopes of Cortina. For Veronica Etro, her wonderfully restored family estate in Piacenza, just outside of Milan, is the perfect place to decompress.
