Dear Shaded Viewers,
In the seemingly never-ending game of musical chairs between young designers and fashion houses, Cerruti has appointed Richard Nicoll as his new creative director. His first show was promising, reworking the brand's signature tailoring in contemporary ways and adding an experimental spin that reflects the Australian designer's aesthetics. I loved the red and blue silhouettes, which reminded me of Claude Montana's work in the late 80s. Nicoll used mohair, leather and fur, which nicely contrasted with the latex and perforated pieces.
Best,
Philippe
