A little while back, I was introduced to Pollini and got all excited that Jonathon Saunders was about to work his magic on the little known brand. Apparently, he only had a few weeks to get his debut, the SS 09 collection, together but I enjoyed all the playful flourishes of that collection.
Playful flourish
And being an Italian brand, Pollini’s Autumn/Winter 09 collection showed in Milan early this week. I have always been a little disparaging of Milanese fashion, and Milan Fashion Week, as I’ve always thought of Italian fashion as a different, more conservative breed. And although I like the new Pollini collection, it feels as if Saunders couldn’t quite escape this quintessential conservatism. The playful flourishes are still there but less bold, a little darker.

Details the outfit doth make
I still like the collection but I’d like to see more fun for the next collection.

God I love Jonathan Saunders. I have a passion for anything with an ascending rainbow of colours.
