This Kiton womenswear collection suggested progression at a house whose fabrication is impeccable but whose image of itself has long failed to do that justice. As well as improved styling, the collection also displayed broader range. Case in point was Look 24’s elevated cashmere jersey two-piece, which suggested that even if sweatpants are forever, forever might not be such a purgatory after all.
Another hint of expansion was Look 14’s set of cardigan/jacket/shacket loungecoats call them what you will, wear them as you will teamed with pants in what Maria Giovanna Paone said was “millionaire’s cashmere.” A side-vented white and green paneled shirt in scrumptious 14 micron wool teamed with a silk satin shirt and handsome wide jeans was another go-er.
