Marni appointed Francesco Risso as its new creative director in 2016, after Consuelo Castiglioni the co founder stepped down after more than 20 years. I was sent this Resort Look Book by Marni's press secretary Herve Ragot, before seeing that Risso previously designed for Prada I was about to write that the collection reminds me of PRADA !The pattern clash and feminine silhouette with asymetric fluting, mixing raw edges and layering with quirky Dressing Up box styling maintains the Marni girls individuality and confidence, Risso has successfully injected a flirty, geeky modernity to the luxury brand.
