Utility is the key concept for Navarra this Spring/Summer. He focuses on a utility function for each piece and look, even incorporating adventurous accessories. The open section is simple construction and design, nothing too technical to the looks but the little add-ons and colors are should focus in this collection. One of the key pieces in the opening section is the bright tangerine and black knit cardigan. The light knit cashmere blend cardigan has a color-blocked design in three colors, tangerine, black and pale sea foam green. The look is finished with a matching pale sea foam green cotton jersey shirt. The second section gets a little more flowey with a lot of light fabrics and a few extra volume pieces. Navarro seems to be a little lost in this section. The baggy dress pant has an odd shape with the hips and upper thigh over draped in a baggy silhouette.

For the third section Navarra switches motif with an emphasis on a little western and then giving each a strong statement color. The colors are contrasted with basic black and brown pieces. One of the standout pieces is a pale canary yellow Lyrex jacket with a black cotton twill used on torso, the colors are contrasted with a indigo Lyrex to contrast the yellow and orange cotton twill to the black. The closing section is a lot of black and white. I loved the sheer net tops worn over long sleeve shirts. One of the standout looks in this section is white long sleeve sheer net top worn over a black long sleeve jersey top.

The must have pieces of the collection are two contrast pieces for the season. First is short piece, a orange cotton twill shorts with a white lace appliqué covering the entire leg of the short. The other must have piece is more of Fall/Winter piece, a pale brown ribbed knit cardigan with a wide draped one piece collar and lapel. The ribbed weave design is horizontal on the front of the of the cardigan and vertical on the torso and sleeve. One of the strong points to this collection is that Navarra really moves away from the clean functionality expected in Milan and focuses on the athletic physique in this collection. A superb collection chipped full of great pieces. Bravo Monsieur Navarra!
