A Palpable Ninja and Fetish Vibe at Marcelo Burlon

The collection was the usual, hyper-visual mash up of slogans and signs splashed onto punky urbanwear.

MILAN, Italy — Marcelo Burlon is another early adopter of the mixed-gender fashion show. There were men and women literally running on the County of Milan runaway to a live drums performance at yesterday's show. It was an energetic outing, and not just because of the music. Burlon knows how to create a catchy fashion vibe. The collection was the usual, hyper-visual mash up of slogans and signs splashed onto punky urbanwear. This time, it had a palpable ninja/fetish vibe. This did not reset the fashion agenda anew but a bunch of additions — gothic lettering, bright tracksuits, elongated sleeves — evidenced Burlon's ability to catch whiffs of fashion's current preoccupations and give them his own spin. Appropriation is creation too.
