Azzaro RTW Fall 2012

Azzaro RTW Fall 2012

Mathilde Castello Branco took a playful approach to the house archives in her first outing for Azzaro. More after the jump.
Eschewing any literal references to their popular “three-ring” dress, she offered slinky draped evening gowns, some with Fifties sweetheart necklines, others featuring a plunging back, such as a navy jersey number with a silver parrot clasp over one hip. The Brazilian designer used a light hand when it came to Azzaro’s signature diamanté embellishment, sprinkling tiny crystals on the panels of a tiered black chiffon cocktail dress, or in the shape of a bow at the neck of a gray mini shift. But the collection appeared to lose some of its luxury cachet in the process, and a series of outfits featuring a naïve playing card motif felt oddly out of place. (WWD)
