I've always loved the avant-garde vision of Navarra, but this S/S '12 I think one of the most successful collections. Gaetano Navarra was able to mix in a few items of different styles and different suggestions effects, while retaining fidelity to his personal style. The prints coupled with some beautiful work, those lace mentioning the old fashion craftsmanship and the explosion of color (dominated by the ubiquitous black and nude) enchant us. I think he reflects, broadly speaking, the true Thierry Mugler's heir: he's able of the same creative talent but manages to contextualize perfectly with the needs of the fashion of our day, too far from the roaring '80s or '90s cyberspace contamination. He is a very personal way to express themselves and express fashion and for me this is a great gift, especially today that fashion is only one industrial standardization.
Bravo!
