NO MEN FOR MARNI- ATLEAST ON THE RUNWAY

NO-SHOW: Don’t expect to see the Marni man on the catwalk in January. The Italian house said Monday it has opted for a presentation of its men’s wear collection rather than the usual runway show. But that’s not to say men’s wear is taking a backseat at the company. Due to strong demand for designer Consuelo Castiglioni’s quirky but unfussy styles, the company’s recently expanded flagship boutique in SoHo, at 159-161 Mercer Street, has just doubled the space devoted to men’s wear. There’s also a separate area dedicated to men’s accessories. In other Marni news, the company is opening a boutique in Miami today at 3930 Northeast Second Avenue, in the city’s Design District. The store will carry both men’s and women’s.
