Morgan
De Toi
Spring/Summer 2003
For spring-summer
2003, Morgan De Toi produces a collection of commercially diverse separates
that indicate this collection comes part and parcel with extensive market
research. The faded denim jeans have a low-slung waist and flare just
enough at the hem. Shimmering, metallic thread makes brief cameos in fantastic
pieces such as the cropped teal top with tie-dyed sleeves. Solids are
matched with more elaborate paisley prints, giving an elusive appeal to
a look that is difficult to nail.
The army-issue skirts,
low-slung cargos and capris with wide belt features and huge pockets blatantly
take the collection into combat territory. The fact that these military
leanings come off as a bit of a novelty does not detract from the collection's
real strengths. The tops are free of any staunchness, and Morgan De Toi
dapples in earthtones, lace and neck detailing to achieve a remarkable
upper body fluidity.
