Toned down, in comparison to his previous collections, Francesco Scognamiglio’s F/W 2012 collection emphasized on the shape: boxy coats (which were on the spotlight) covered the models up while deep skirt cuts gave out a hint of sensuality. The color palette ranged in safe dark hues, whites and unexpected splashes of neon. Brightest example: the leather-detailed coat with the neon green touches. We can almost see the street-stylers lining up for it.

After last season review (see here)  on Francesco Scognamiglio’s brilliant avant-garde collection I was entirely excited to review the FW 09/10 collection. I have created this collage to feature what I thought were the highlights from the collection. The range of meticulously hand engineered pleated sleeves to hyper tailored lace dresses to slim and sleek; contrasted with Rock and Roll Chic, gold over-sized studded pants make me so vulnerable I almost feel the need to throw my hands up and surrender. He is without a doubt one of my top 10 favorite designers for the time and I highly doubt the possibility of him veering off that track.
