Having presented her spring ready-to-wear collection at the Taomoda Contemporary Fashion & Design show in the Sicilian town of Taormina in July, Maria Rosa De Sica focused on demi-couture for her Mariù De Sica presentation in Milan.
The designer drew inspiration from Impressionist paintings for feather-light organza dresses in pastel prints that brought to mind Claude Monet’s Water Lilies. Pleating effects abounded, including razor-sharp origami folds on the hem of a gauzy seafoam-green tunic top.
“It’s a very fresh, feminine collection for a woman who doesn’t take herself too seriously and who wants to have fun with her femininity,” said De Sica, who designed her own gown for her Capri wedding this summer to Federico Pellegrini, her partner in the brand.
The designer showed she is also comfortable with her masculine side, with daytime options including a striped linen-canvas short-sleeve trouser suit.
