The statue-filled stage was a symbolic nod to Camille Claudel, whose lyrical sculptures was this season’s inspiration for Antonio Marras. That translated into a soft-cum-flappy-cum-layered look, which Marras delivered via his signature pot-pourri of fabrics, patterns, embellishments and, this time, plenty of sheer nettings. For the most part, kerchief tops and jackets, cut from either wispy silks or sturdy cotton, fluttered over breezy dresses and fluid skirts, while sequined vests and knits topped camisoles and tapered pants. Marras also infused a touch of sportif with a shrunken olive green vest and egg-shaped parkas which topped sequined balloon dresses in his novelty print - a Japanese-y floral pattern in dove grays.
