Marco de Vincenzo: Colour Blocked The rainbow-tinted lenses of the glasses at Marco de Vincenzo’s show suggested from the first outfit – in grey denim with a multi-coloured striped sweater – a desperation to be cool. That, and the deafening music that seemed inappropriate for a straightforward collection of sporty separates. As ever, simplicity was the winner: for example, vertical strokes of colour on a white top with a tan denim skirt.

I had thought that LVMH, via Fendi, had taken an investment in de Vincenzo’s company because of his exceptional skills of impressing embellishment to streamlined effect. But I did not find that in this collection, although inserts of checks at an angle across a black sweater were in tune with other geometric expressions from Winter 2015.

My random picks from an unfocused show: a green, vertically striped devore dress (the look came in multi-coloured stripes too), dresses with a single line of Lurex colour trickling down the front, and those rainbow glasses.
