The Marni Spring/Summer 2013 collection breaks with the Italian label's past. Although always at the fore of menswear's latest and greatest, this particular line blatantly mismatches patterns and colors without much concern for an overriding or succinct style.
White, navy, red and beige stripes are all contrasted with one another for this Marni line. Long, white pants are also abruptly cut with fierce bright red and blue strips of cloth, breaking up what would otherwise be a classic look. It is apparent that the popular mix and match motif has been honed in on here, albeit with more attention to the mix aspect. And though this unusual style may not work well for other brands, Marni has pulled it off with ease.
