Having a longer and closer look at the collection earlier this morning, a certain piece of art suddenly popped into mind. I see Marni as the clothing equivalent of Picasso's cubist reinterpretation of Las Meninas by Velázquez. Drawing similarities between Casteglioni and Picasso might be a daring thing to do, some might argue, but their creative processes are not afar. Just as Pablo, Consuelo has used staples and reinvented them by means of shape and colour. Like cubism, Marni is not apt for amateurs, it requires years of close scrutiny and appreciation. Are you a Marni acolyte?

I love Marni. And I don't really have any Oscar predicitions, although I guess Colin Firth will wear Tom Ford.... xxx
