Her collections have always been about eccentricity, and for fall Maria Cornejo articulated that sentiment better than ever with a very strong collection of quirks and contrasts: stiff borders on fluid dresses; clean-lined jackets with gentle volume in back, and a devil-may-care attitude about mixing proportions and shapes. Whether it was culottes and shorts with terrific leather jackets, feathered hand-knit sweaters and long skirts or dresses in amusing prints — fur, hair or even the bookshelves of a friend’s library — it was clear that Cornejo had fun doing her thing while considering the ecological impact of her choices. This season she used a fabric made from recycled casette tapes for evening looks, but she also demonstrated her serious side of luxury with beautiful llama coats and bold graphic jacquard dresses and jackets.
