As Estelle Parsons shrieked in Bonnie and Clyde…. “MY
EYES>>>MY EYES!!!!” Can we talk
about a visual assault? Can we talk about the that after the laughable men’s
collection, that was just presented last
week, that Donatella must have taken on
a new day job as chief designer for Theater of the Absurd
because she sure aint designing clothes for this world. Let’s hope she is not the harbinger of things
to come this season in the couture.
In what universe are these clothes even remotely a credit to
the brand and the late designer who is either spinning in his grave at 5000 revolutions
a second or is just laughing his ass
off because his sister fancies herself a
designer. It is conceivable that if I
spin this as very eastern European inspired but even that is a stretch as I am not sure
even Natalya and Svetlana want to look like this. It does sort of remind of what was once considered
dress up clothes in the provinces of China.
It doesn’t matter if the brand spent millions on models and
makeup and show production, this can only be called a mess on all levels except
for the venue. The only stretch of the
imagination that I come up with here is that this is Kardashian Kouture which
it should be understood bears no resemblance and has no relationship to honest
to goodness genuine Haute Couture. This
is just a pile of cheap looking clothes that took enormously huge amounts of
time and money to produce …quelle dommage! What will the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture think of this?
I read that there is a white mink monstrosity that took 500
hours of labor to construct and to that I am hopeful that whoever was
responsible didn’t run out and blow their brains out after seeing the finished
product. These clothes are part Wonder
Woman, part Fredericks of Hollywood and for those who might remember, part Lew
Magram Catalog. Talk about a collection and
a brand gone astray; one can hardly wait to see what full on Fall 2013 will
look like.
P.S. maybe this is a
Donatella ho-down!
