Starting with Spring 2014, there will be a series of mini
reviews which basically will say the most but in the least amount of words as
well as half the amount of slides. The
terse appraisals will not take the place of my more formal and thorough
reviews; they will enable to me to publish more for your perusal. Somehow my feeling is that the reader will
not need to know any more than what I have offered.
For me, this is just a case of the slippery slide. This is a collection that has devolved since
its inception as far as I am concerned.
What was once beautifully impeccably made dresses has turned out to be a
laughable display of distractions, high jinx, and a feeling that this designer
is lost.
With extreme
references to Courreges, Mr. Gurung has turned out a collection that can only
be described by asking what exactly is he thinking other than editorial … if
that! One hasn’t a clue where to focus
as there isn’t an area on the model that allows you to focus on it as EVERY
area is demanding equal time. If one was
pressed into finding the one immediate focal point, well it wasn’t the clothes,
that’s for sure!
It is really such a shame that these young designers either
suffer from hubris, poor direction or possibly believing their own press. Mr. Gurung has the chops to turn out
beautiful clothes but apparently he has opted for media attention rather than
for consumer attention.
