Rossella Jardini Fall 2018 Ready-To-Wear....Fashionweekly..On Fow24news.com

At today’s presentation in a Milanese art gallery, Rossella Jardini was dressed in a military jumpsuit; it could’ve been easily mistaken for an army surplus find if it weren’t for the designer’s signature über-chic accessorizing...
strings of real pearls galore, antique gold chains by the pound, and a vintage Hermès foulard. A pair of oversize prescription glasses made it look pretty fabulous; styling really is everything.

For her Fall collection, called Metamorphosis, Jardini had fun working at repurposing her beloved classic wardrobe staples: a military jacket, a white shirt, a field jacket, and a cotton trench. She did it her way, generously adding eccentric decorative touches, transforming every piece into a quirky customized item. Pearl buttons, mink patches, golden tassels, lace collars, eyelet ribbons, passementerie; every possible inanimate form worthy of some sort of decorative purpose found its way into the collection. In an impetus of maximalism, Jardini didn’t restrain herself, indulging her playful side with abandon.

The designer addressed the sustainability issue her way; she reused vintage decorations, salvaging them from waste, and gave a good face-lift to unassuming everyday pieces, morphing them into stylish specimens. You can call it sustainable chic.
