For his Fall 2013 RTW collection

Italian designer Antonio Marras

(image from vanityfair.it)

drew inspiration from the

free- thinking

free- living

free-loving

unorthodox

unconventional

unapologetic

 Bloomsbury Group

 the early twentieth century association of

London intellectuals who defied the norms.

…

Marrying varied prints, textures and forms

Marras captured the diversity of

aggregate talent

colourful expression

creative energy

 of the Bloomsbury set.

…

The garments exude femininity and strength, acknowledging

the women and the then women’s concerns,

which were integral to the Bloomsbury message.

…

Marras  presents smart andro-chic trouser suits

as well as dress silhouettes, which

celebrate the female form.

His attempt to interpret and to present

a cohesive collection which evokes a

Bloomsbury-esque aesthetic

hits a successful note.
