Show review: Anglomania

While the young and beautiful girls had been browsing their grandmothers’ closets with lots of brown and earthy tones, white tuxedo shirts and pleated pants, the boys looked like they came out of London’s Saville Row, with sharply cut striped and checkered suits, bowties and vests.

The models’ street smart attitude provided a nice contrast to these classic looks.The recession might not be the right time to re-launch the ’80s yuppie look with combed-back hair and pseudo-intellectual glasses, but Bertoni managed to add wit by equipping one of the models with a poor man’s fingerless knitted gloves, and it was refreshing to see corduroy back on the runway again.
