To Whom It May Concern;
This is to inform you that while London has always been the
fashion incubator city, this season it has now approached or rather ran to
reach the finish line which is absurdity!
WTF are you people thinking?
I understand that many designers are not really designing
for the co called “top Tier” client but hell this stuff aint cheap and the
client base didn’t die once they hit 35 and that’s being generous. Yes, I am fully aware that much of what you
see is for impact but I am not quite sure that these shows/teasers will attract
clients. Here’s a very brief rundown of
what I saw … take it for what it’s worth...
Chris Bailey, Burberry
... So yeah I get it...color is key for Spring and yeah there are some cute
tops and cute outerwear and so what? I
guess the Burberry client just can rout around for anything brightly colored,
sort of like a goat does, and just throw it together for a look provided you
wear high water pants, glasses and a skinny tie
Sarah Burton, Alexander
McQueen, while I am great fan of you and the brand, WTF was that? Yeah I get it...tailoring extraordinaire,
exquisite workmanship and unbelievable fabrics and then there is this slight
matter that there is nothing for real human beings to wear... well at least
those who don’t want to look like Alfalfa ( look it up ) and wear Mary Jane
shoes. I mean girl get a grip... and
talk about “dearly” priced!!
Richard Nicoll …
did you think no one would make the connect to old Givenchy?
Christopher Kane … sort
of like a lesson in string art, psychedelic string art at that, mixed with a
phrenological twist... if that’s what you are into.
Richard James...
is someone I have always associated with brilliant color combinations and clear
brights and this season he chose to go pastel with only brightness at the feet...so
much for that as... can we talk about bland and unexciting... and yes it is
very very wearable.
Tom Ford… you are
my favorite whipping post as I always get to relive my past when I look at your
collections. You remind me of all the clothes
I trashed about 30 years ago. I am still
waiting for the original thought that will inhabit one of your collections. My demise might come sooner than that event!
JW Anderson … I think your collaboration with Donatellamama was no
coincidence as you seem to want to make men into drag queens albeit of the more discreet
variety... you see what I am getting at here?
I have to say that halter tops for men join the ranks of tube tops for
men which were shown several years ago… a sweeping trend!! NOT!
Meadham Kirschhoff … I guess it is about fashion freaks... nuff
said here! Dresses and fetishistic
school boys and why am I reminded of prophylactics here?
E.Tautz … so you think culottes and dinner jackets are a trend as long
as they are worn with satin espadrilles... all I can say is ..Good luck with
that …
Sincerely,
J
PS...Hoping Milan and Paris
provide something that MIGHT sell … rather than instant markdowns!
