Manuel Facchini, who is also creative director at Byblos, said in his show notes that he wanted to fuse “Gothic rock with rugby wear” for his signature collection. Neither of those influences were immediately apparent in this hard-edged lineup, aside from one round-shouldered, short-sleeved bomber jacket paired with shorts.
Minidresses in stiff, sculptural shapes dominated. But it was a clutch of more sinuous silhouettes that chimed better with fashion’s current romantic mood, such as one fluid white maxidress with a rib-cage-like devoré pattern etched onto the bodice.
