Fannie Schiavoni is famous for using chainmail body adornments, her metal scale dresses are often made by hand using ancient Japanese metal constructing techniques. Her collection often includes a combination of draping, different chains and overlapping reptile-like scales. State by Blaine (2011)
In ss15 collection The first outfit had a plain black colour dress design and covered by triangle, shape pattern style armless jacket made by transparent material, the flimsy and barebones design remind me of a space station structural design, overall the black colour scheme dress had a space colour background and the triangle, shape and structure looks like it has connect it with a bunch of space station.
The second outfit had a sheer looking cropped jacket with transparent sleeves made with PVC, the sheer design made me think of the planet Saturn's ring, it had a similar look of a sheer fabric, and transparent sleeves. It reflects light, it looks minimal and futuristic.
Overall, Fannie Schiavoni has a very distinctive style, she likes working with different sizes of chains that hang over the body and she also likes to include draping, scale and mesh fabrics that are light-weighted and can flow freely.
