For Fall/Winter Anna Molinari takes Blumarine into a period of morning. The opening section is all black except for two print dresses in fuchsia and red and then closing with a few leopard print dresses. Molinari keeps the looks short in length, keeping the skirt lengths just above the knee. The second section moves to dark and light gray looks. The silhouette is a little tighter on the body but Molinari kept the models covered with the skirts to the knee and heavy knit leggings. One of the standout looks is long sleeve jersey knit knee-length dress. The fabric is gathered at hip and twisted into a criss-cross creating a tight fit to the hip. The third section is a little more decadent with rich taffeta fabrics, faux furs and rich splashes of color like red, emerald green and purple. Molinari kept her pants tight on the leg and opted to not show a lot of outerwear pieces for Fall. One of the key print looks is the black and white leopard print on silk chiffon. One of the key looks using this print is a matching silk chiffon pencil skirt and short sleeve blouse with a ruffle-trimmed sleeve.

The must have pieces from the collection are two of Molinari’s dresses in a shocking color. First is the red and fuchsia floral print on silk taffeta. The dress belted at the waist with a jeweled ruby red belt. The other must look is a emerald green silk satin cocktail dress with a plunging v-neckline. Worn with the dress is one of Molinari’s heavy costume necklaces reminiscent of classic Cartier pieces. The collection is very simple and still young, but in dark sophisticated palette. Missing form the collection is the color that was only hinted on in the latter half of the collection. Although I missed the color Molinari presented several classic statement pieces and looks for the season. Her prints are the heart of the collection and the most editorial pieces we will see for Fall/Winter spreads. Bravo Madame Molinari!
