MARLON GOBEL F/W 2012 SHOW

“The Heist”. As the electro music filled the room I didn’t know what to expect, but when the show began I was mesmerized by the many gold details, sparkles and luxurious outfits in reminiscence of the greatest criminals and thieves in the history of America, such as the overly elegant Thomas Crown or the legendary Bonnie & Clyde from whom Marlon Gobel got his inspiration. And to make it even more special, he collaborated with Swarovski to design crystal bow ties and buttons. The result was mind-blowing. Cashmere trousers and coats echoed with silk ties and bow ties and sometimes with gold zippers and buttons to add fierceness to the looks. I liked the super shiny Swarovski details that came with the fur coats and tweed suits. The unexpected combination of red, navy blue, deep purple and light grey rendered beautifully as well.
