Blumarine is like a box of crayons, and I mean that in the best possible way. The colors include black, teal, yellow, red, orange and (my personal favorite) purple. But the colors don’t clash because Blumarine has presented them in a unified way. The styles and cuts are simple, which is good for the louder hues. Pieces range from conservative and full coverage to racy lace.
A signature fall color and style: above the knee boots, sweater and skirt combination. Well done here with the raised collar and soft fabric. Ribbed shirts are throughout the more practical, everyday pieces.
Jackets came in a variety of colors. Some solid colors others beige on the outside with loud lining and cuffs. Preferably the loud color on the inside is better because it’s a surprise—a flair. The full orange and full purple coats are nice in style (military influenced) but if not paired well will come off childish and cheesy.
In yellow the lace has a bit of a 60s edge to it. In black it’s more of a seductive. Here, however, it’s flirty and fun.
The lace dress beneath it is complimented very well with the long sleeved jacket. The bunched sleeves give it a rocker/biker look. It’s very chic and sexy with a hint of mystery. This is my favorite look of the collection.
Box cut dresses were popular in this collection. The color wheel was well represented. These styles were the template of the collection they came in varied colors with little variation.
