Salvatore Ferragamo is a brand that carries a lot of history behind it, and this collection didn't disappoint. The garments were ready to protect against the elements, and there was a utilitarian mood adapted for an urban existence with jackets and capes draped beautifully over shorts, pants and skirts.
Missoni, known for unbelievably intricate knitwear in all patterns but most famously for zigzag patterns in any kind of fine or chunky knits, kept things a little more loosely referenced for this collection. It was more of a patchwork influence, and the mash of colours worked very well against the herringbone softer palette.
I always admire Marni, but top to toe can be quite full on for those of us particularly in Australia. AW10 has a sporty feel again that was missing last season, however it was given a little spin with peplums and padded hips included in many of the jackets and dresses. The colours are always a little hap hazard as well but that's not to say they haven't read the mood of the season well and given us many exciting options away from gray or black so heavily favoured by other brands.
I don't know about anyone else, but I thought that Dolce & Gabbana played it very safe this collection. They did what they do best with corset inspired references littered throughout the corporate garments, and animal print was prim in pencil skirts. Either way, it was true to Dolce & Gabbana's aesthetic and established them as a strong force this show season.
