Misura's
fall 2002 womenswear oeuvre is composed of impeccable separates and outfits
in a sombre, earthy palette. The rock-white and black nylon stretch suits
are the casual items deluxe in an otherwise dressy collection. The asymmetric
black vests with white stitching and rounded curves as well as the double-flap
charcoal skirt reminds us of Caoc's commitment to silhouette experimentation.
The double-faced white wool cape worn over a baby blue jersey crepe dress
nudges the collection into a dressy pose, as do the cream tweed stretch
pants, angular and flared.
As in any
Misura collection, the details are so important. The minimalism places
a lot of emphasis on it. Take the diagonal back pleating on the camel
skirts, the pleats cauterized at both ends. The more detailed and ornate
aspects of many of the pieces hover just under the surface as underpinnings.
This comes across as very sensual, even sexual.
Backstage,
we probe Joeffer Caoc about the round, elliptical lines of a particular
piece. "You don't miss a thing! The silhouettes are simple, versatile
and clean because I feel it's important to be able to transpose them and
to mix it up with styling. The colours are subdued for the same reason."
Don't let this pussycat attitude fool you. "I believe in fashion
as a drug." It goes without saying that many are addicted to Misura.
