Ennio Capasa inspiration for Fall/Winter is a new world look. The body is covered and the look is layered but a strict silhouette. The opening section is all black and moving into some grays. One of the standout pieces is a black textured and treated leather biker jacket. The second section has a hint of color in one red piece in a sea of gray looks and then shift back into a sea of black. Capasa opted to show an abundant number of outerwear this season although the only fluid statement is a more of edgy/utility look to the outerwear pieces. The outerwear pieces are detailed with straps; decadent fabrics like suede or draped with a new shape like a long front and cropped back. Another great piece is Capasa’s dark olive green bushed wool jacket. The jacket is loose on the torso and cropped at the waist. The sleeves are over draped with the collar done in turtleneck style.

The third section has more red pieces added to the collection and a few persimmon color pieces. Sadly the shape or silhouette Ennio worked toward in the closing section is full but its created by a bubble hem on a skirt or jacket. One of the standout dress looks in the collection is a long sleeve black cashmere knit dress with a turtleneck. The front of the dress is designed with two zipper openings running from the neck to the hem. Another key look from Capasa is the loosely tailored suit in the closing section. A loosely tailored mens blazer worn with a straight full leg pant, with the highlight of the collection being the outerwear pieces, the complete look of layered tops under tightly tailored outerwear pieces was too busy and too confusing. There are a few great retail pieces but editorially the collection is missing those bold pieces. Although the black knit dresses with strips of black leather, also missing is a variance of color. I would love to have seen more pieces play with the red and persimmon colors.
