Here’s the skinny and I do mean skinny on fall 2013 at
L’Wren Scott; unless you are of perfect proportion, these clothes are not for
you. One needs either to be streamlined
in shape, no matter the height, but being taller than 5’7 (170cm) is most
helpful. See Ms. Scott!
Ms. Scott who is British by
injection, take that any way you like, made a wise choice to show in London this season as New York has become a
cacophony of shows that no one needs to see.
This collection is as always very sleek, slim, body hugging and with
that 50’s/60’s vibe.
Loving the snakes in recognition of the lunar New Year or
maybe it was the 60th anniversary of Bulgari or perhaps just a
fascination but no matter, it works here.
The coat and dress ensembles work best when the “coat” is not any form
of cape as the capes seem to be working against the underpinnings which should
not be the case. The capes should
provide a foil to the slimness of the dresses but the capes come off as awkward
instead. Ms. Scott proves that certain
clothes only work in certain colors as with her “rib caged” stitched leather
jacket and pants shown in that
menopausal shade of blush as well as deep rich brown … ‘nuff said!
Extremely eye appealing is the palette, aside from that
flesh color as were the embroideries that focused at the collar cone and
above. As I was taught years ago when
selling, these are the clothes that bring light a woman’s face and provide
above the table interest. Speaking of
light and razzle dazzle, let’s talk about that gold kid skirt with that rush of
color decorated cardigan and the all over striped strapless dazzler. Also I cannot go without singling out the
simple but beautiful black cocktail dress with that golden coiling snake and
the 2 black on black suits. Let me know
if you had a Klimt moment toward the end of the presentation as I did... made
for a very interesting reference aside from the usual Mad Men moments!
The take away here is pretty, a bit spotty and definitely
not for everyone but certainly worth a look.
