MARNI

YusukeI find Francesco Risso's collections for MARNI quite interesting. He was appointed MARNI's new Creative Director in the fall of 2016. While his collections have been presented since Autumn/Winter 2017-18, he's added his fresh interpretation to MARNI's previous aesthetic, which I really like and wear often.

In particular, the men's accessories have become more casual, with many unique items that stand out in styling. These over-the-socks, for instance, are a brilliant piece that creates a subtle look for your feet when tucked into pants, scrunched up, and worn inside boots, balancing well with voluminous outerwear. Like the long scarves and thin long belts, there's an abundance of accessories perfect for adding a touch of playfulness to your outfit.

In fact, the outfit I'm wearing for today's shoot (the red embroidered jacket & wide pants) is also entirely MARNI. I bought it on the spot because I was meeting the designer after the show, but I love it and have been wearing it a lot this season.
