Marie Saint Pierre
spring/summer 2005
Gentle yet daring,
graceful yet organically subversive-no combination of superlatives can
sum up what Marie Saint Pierre has done for spring 2005.
Colourful ribbons
play a unique part in making this an unimposing yet unforgettable collection.
They come in a variety of colours and they serve diverse purposes. Whether
as pink and teal shredded filets of a fantastically delicate dress (perhaps
typical delicacy for Marie Saint Pierre) or as bombastic swaths of colour
livening a white silk halter-top dress, these ribbons tantalize.
Certain nostalgia
for simpler times comes through in pieces like the mocha and cream florally
embroidered lace skirt. Other outfits, such as the red-trimmed black
skirt and boudoir top with chevron detailing have a vaudeville aspect
to it, and also a beautiful sadness. Some of the fantasy pieces echo
this emotion, with either their billowing snow-white folds or their
rainbow sequins.
