admin Marni’s Spring 2024 collection is proudly about sensorial aspects of clothes.
After months of studying flowers, Creative Director Francesco Risso translated their rich colors and textures into prints and glossy appliqués that shot out on silver stems from dresses. (Some three-dimensional florals came made from tin cans!) Marni’s classic stripes and checks came alive on trench coats and through intarsia, or leathers woven in a puzzle-like manner that illustrated an illusion of depth. Smooth handbags revealed themselves in many sizes, all while possessing a geometric quality in silhouette. Throughout every piece, earth tones stood alongside the punchy, vibrant hues of garden foliage.
Marni’s Spring 2024 show, presented during Paris Fashion Week, was held at a location that is special to Risso: Karl Lagerfeld’s old apartment at 51 Rue de l’Université. (The luminary designer was an old neighbor of Risso’s.) It’s also Marni’s first runway in Paris. The Italian brand is on a sort of fashion-show-world-tour: Its last two shows weren’t revealed at Milan Fashion Week, but presented in New York City then Tokyo. Somehow, for Risso, showing in Paris felt like showing for the first time.
“I’m just demanding of myself to have the most passionate time of my career… it’s also the understanding that this word ‘joy,’ which can seem quite flat and banal in this moment of terror, requires a lot of work,” he said. “There’s a rail of clothes there that took months to make. It was like an exploration of fatigue and commitment and working together in order to connect people with something that is pleasurable, because that’s what we do. Is fashion just to reflect the harshness of this time? I’m so not into the virtuality. I’m into the virtuosity of the hand.”
