D'Amore by Marceau

Or click here to launch in a separate window.

The D'Amore by Marceau Spring 2009 borders on the gaudy, with it's metallics and animal prints, but stays just barely on this side of outspoken by keeping the design simple when the fabric is (quite literally) wild.

The collection is a delicate balancing game: crazy prints paired with simple shapes and daring shapes and cutouts in understated fabrics.  And the overall effect is wowing but not overwhelming.
