More Black, but designers Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi opts to focus on volume rather than skinny black. Right from the opening section Aquilano & Rimondi showed a series of heavy bulky knits. But, is frilly black really that attractive? The second section is a short look but the emphasis is on the knit pieces. She does show a series of tailored mens pin-stripe blazer looks. This masculine tailoring shifted into the closing with a series of masculine fabrics morphed into feminine styled looks. One of the key looks in the collection is the pant which Aquilano and Rimondi opts to keep the pant leg loose and baggy. All of a sudden in the closing section the duo comes alive. The early part of the collection very constrained and closed while the closing section plays with embellishment and printed fabrics and she finally rocks it out with two killer leather pieces. As the collection progressed Tommaso and Roberto started to really find a voice. Although the bulk of the collection is in all black the detailing at the end of the collection is the highlight. I would love to have seen more prints come out in the collection earlier on. However the richness of the black and heavy detailing of the knits and fur is striking.
