Blanket and totem prints featured on snugly, wraparound coats, fitted jackets and sheepskins.
Waistcoats came in a woodsy leaf-print and paisley mixes in ruby, black, burgundy and purple, which were used for body-conscious spencer's and military-look jackets with full skirts.
The collection featured, in fact, some of the shortest skirts we have seen this season in Milan, in contrast to the over-the-knee lengths, which have been seen elsewhere in ra-ra, puffball, skating and bubble shapes.
But she
compensated for the lack of coverage with fancy, thigh-high boots and
with the occasional, tightly-wrapped, long sarong skirt in an eclectic
tribal pattern or a rise-and-fall hemline, patterned with earth-tone
stripes, generally worn with a shaggy Mongolian goat vest or a corset
over a striped knit.
The finale scene, appropriate to the snowscape at the back of the catwalk came in all-white, with woolly fringed shawls, sheepskins, chunky-knit vests, long cardigans and wraparound cloak-coats teamed with distressed lace skirts.
