MARNI MEN'S F/W 2017

Following in the footsteps of Consuelo Castiglioni, the founder and creative mind of cult brand Marni, is no easy task. Yet with his debut collection, Francesco Risso seems to have struck the right chord by hitting a balance between typical Castiglioni references, cue the colors, the graphic patterns and mismatch of fabrics, and a cooler younger vibe. Often rumpled, checks and plaids in all sizes rule, appearing in anything from slim coats and slouchy pants tinged in autumnal sparks of burnt orange, saffron yellow and moss green. Shaggy and textured furs are tossed over colorfully striped knits and suits cut with a laid-back pajama feel. With his optimistic and buoyant line-up, Risso is off to a good start.
