Designer Ermanno Scervino searched for the young and playful spirit of the sophisticated woman of today. From the opening section to the close Scervino presented a collection of perfectly detailed and crafted looks. First you can easily note the obvious misses like the skinny leg pants and the overused balloon shapes. Then you have to just gush over all the perfect pieces! In the opening section Scervino just served up a plate of you must have this or this or that. Starting off with a palette of natural browns and blushing hews of white. One of the standout looks in the opening section is a khaki brown silk satin skirt. The fabric is laser cut with a lace design and the skirt is worn with a white chiffon petticoat and the look is finished of with a white silk organza v-neck blouse with white floral embroidery detailing the neckline and torso of the blouse. From the brown palette Ermanno moved into a dark palette of black. In this section the standout look is a black balloon shape Capri pant worn with one of Scervino’s must have leather pieces. A cropped waist black leather jacket, the jacket seams and edges are finished with military green suede. The jacket is a mix of the 80’s with military.

From the second section Scervino started to use more lace and played with varying lengths. He also started to add volume to the shapes of each look and mixing in prints to some of the pieces. One of the standout pieces in this section is a white organdy flared skirt with a black floral print screened onto the fabric. Another great skirt look out of this section is the matching brown plaid tweed skirt and overcoat. The skirt is flared with a frayed edge and worn with a white petticoat. The coat adds to the long list of great outwear pieces in this collection. From the trench coats to the biker jackets in leather and suede.

From the black section Scervino moved back into color adding reds and mixing in some whites. Another detail used in this section is more lace while keeping the looks clean. One of the standout pieces form this section is the red tank top dress with a flared skirt. The skirt of the dress is a layering of lace and small ruffles and belted around the waist with a red leather belt. To tone down the vibrant red looks Scervino added in some simple print looks. One of the standout pieces is the small floral print white organdy summer dress, the dress is detailed with beaded and embroidered around the torso of the dress and a white petticoat.

The must have pieces from the collection incorporate two big trends for Spring/Summer. The first must have look is one of the white organdy flared skirt dresses with a black floral print screened onto the skirt of the dress. To top the look off Scervino added a black leather biker jacket; the jacket is laser cut with a diamond design. The other must have piece from the collection is another flared skirt look. This time Scervino incorporated the Spring/Summer trend of the trench coat and morphed it into a dress. The skirt is detailed with laser cut floral design and worn with a white petticoat. The petticoat is certainly another growing trend for Spring/Summer; I expect this new trend will carry us into Fall/Winter. The opening section of the collection is certainly the powerhouse of the collection. Scervino showed a series of strong pieces in some of the prominent looks in the collection. While he used this seasons it color of Gold, for some reason the gold accent pieces were not to brash. A problem that several designers had this season! Overall the collection is a non-stop parade of editorial and retail must haves. Bravo Monsieur Scervino!
