Frankie Morello: Designer at Work - Fall 2011

http://www.FTV.com/videos MILAN - FashionTV is backstage at Frankie Morello Fall/Winter 2011/2012, where Frankie Morello designers Pierfrancesco Gigliotti and Maurizio Modica talk about their inspiration behind this season's collection. This fashion show takes its inspiration from the '50s, the years we often refer to in our collections as we truly believe it was an elegant period and, as Piero said before, there was painstaking research in the areas of fabrics, colors, and details --especially in regards to volume." This includes big furs, ball gown skirts, and mermaid gowns. The collection is set in an imaginary beauty salon and we see women entering and leaving the salon with mod haircuts from the decade. Women also wear bunny ears, 50s-centric shifts and masculine menswear-inspired business suits.
