Underneath an apparently restless spirit, Efisio Rocco Marras is equipped with a good dose of determination, and certainly with a thirst for artistic expression.
I'm Isola Marras lineup featured hyper-feminine slip dresses in lace and floral patchworks, which were set off against street style–inspired, exaggerated, oversize bombers, sweatshirts, and tracksuits. Kimonos in printed florals, lace pajamas, striped knitwear, and frilly babydoll dresses sat side by side with skimpy black tulle tunics. Pierced baseball caps, ripped fishnet stockings, and huge buffalo sneakers complemented the not-so-virginal look. Efisio photographed his girlfriends for the collection’s lookbook, shot in a playground in the neighborhood. The young models caused a stir. “The children went crazy,” laughed the designer. “They couldn’t believe their eyes.”
