Canali SS14 - Shadow Play

A play on shadows opened the Canali show in conservative gray suiting, which quickly broke into striped and colourful topcoats with elongated hems in blues, yellows, reds and the Canali man who was once a banker swiftly turned into an artist. Tiepins were worn as broaches, smocks seemed like they belonged in an artists studio splashed with polka dots, stripes and even a pair of mermaid-print chinos. Elisabetta Canali explained they just wanted a space to play; " A bit of irony is what we need. We'd like to show that we can play."
