Piazza Sempione s 20th anniversary celebrations over, and a short-lived partnership with Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi similarly done and dusted, the label s Fall lineup was presented at its showroom today. The low-key affair matched the efficient, understated nature of the clothes. Piazza Sempione makes no claims to trendsetting, and that s just fine with its clients. Still, the new collection made glancing references to hot topics like peplums (theirs are on the subtle side, naturally) and head-to-toe prints. In fact, Piazza Sempione s print isn t a print at all, but a tweed made from wool and a paperlike silk. Their short-sleeve parkas came with built-in knit undersleeves, stretchy enough to squeeze a suit jacket under—not a bad idea.
