"Shine bright like a diamond"… may very well be a runway theme song these days. It started slowly around 2014 with shoes and accessories to explode as a major trend in 2017 and go on for next fall in a symphony of sparkle with metallic paillettes, foil, metallic thread jacquards and embroidery, and iridescent fabrics. I mean it's an 80's disco ball! And if there's to be a party I wanna be dressed for it ☺ Thus my encounter with Marcella Romanò in Milan last winter couldn't have come at a better time. Se is a gifted artist and fabric designer and she brought me two pieces of her fabrics to try: the "Watercolor polka dots printed cotton Sangallo lace" (a type of broderie anglaise) and the "Drops metallic thread jacquard"
