For Spring/SUmmer 2009 Costume National presented a collection entitled, “Thirty-Six Ideas for the Future”.
Designer Ennio Capasa sent down 36 looks in a collection that was heavily muted by a silvery color palette. This muted color palette was infiltrated at various points by vivid yellows and blue. The pops of color came in the form of accessories such as a bag or belt and in the form of blazers and jackets.
The materials used were of recycled fabrics signaling the trend that being green is the thing to be. Materials were light, soft, sheer and shimmering. Their was a light airy presence to the collection. Reflective materials were also heavily referenced, suggesting perhaps that we look at ourselves for everything we do to the world is reflected back on us.
