Milan, Oct 3, 2001/ FWD/ --- There was nothing experimental or even forward-thinking about Anna Molinari's
spring 2002 collection, but its chic and playful femininity was ultimately its success and made for a fun,
wearable collection.
The Blumarine line notes explained, "Like everyone, I am shocked by what is happening in the world.
Accordingly I have revised the sets for the fashion show...this time the scene will be dominated by a gigantic
rising sun which people are free to interpret as they see fit. What I see in it, though, are messages of life,
light and rebirth."
Those messages were loud and clear. The show opened with gypsy style skirts and blouses in reds and oranges
worn with cowboy boots, roped belts and the fun fruity touch of cherry earrings and a plastic melon-shaped
clutch bag.
Polka dots were strong throughout the collection, on Spanish-style multi-layer skirts, gathered blouses and
on chiffon head scarves. Colors again were vibrant, reds and fuchsias with green piping and lace trims.
Flowery prints in blues and rose colors gave a romantic, sultry feel to the show and drew delighted responses
from the packed audience, which included editors Glenda Bailey and Amy Spindler.
Even the neutral colored pieces, which at first glance appeared simpler than the rest of the collection, were
subtly strewn with embroidery, beading and lace details. Similarly all the looks in black were detail-oriented;
lace, ruffle dresses, layered peasant skirts and tops were pulled to the body by holsters or black leather
fringe belts.
