Resort 2014
Dear Maria and Pierpaolo,
So kids... ragazzi... WTF are you thinking here? This collection looks like Missy, Muffie and
Mopsey go to either convent school, preppy sleep away camp or some porno
fantasy boarding school. I am so
disturbed by the models and the clothes that I am not sure I can properly tell
you what I am thinking.
There is some sort of little girl playing dress up or fairy
tale quality about the collection which is reinforced by the odd proportions of
almost EVERYTHING, almost as if she is outgrown the clothes she tries on or is
too old to be wearing some of it! The
palette is very appealing and it is too bad that the color can’t make up for
the design of the collection.
You seem to also have some sort of monastic fascination
which throws me every season. Valentino
is not a collection for little girls; it is supposed to be a collection for
those WOMEN who wish to dress in a chic and stylish manner. Yes, yes, I know there is an incredible
amount of workmanship involved in this huge collection but hell...who cares
when it looks like this?
On a minor but fleeting positive note, the camo trench is great,
the leopard bag is great and some of the laces are just wonderful but the
strange far outweighs the collection’s assets.
Shall I point out the “cheap as free lunch” looking yellow fur camo wrap
which looks like some nightmare from Forever21? … Or the mini pastel 2 pieces
looks which can double as doll clothes?? And really…riding boots!
I am sorry that Signor Garavani must see what you do even
though he seemingly gives his seal of approval.
My take is that he is just happy the names continues and why get
agitated as he is wildly rich and his legacy continues despite its flaws.
And no! I can’t even look you two in the eyes and have a cappuccino...
not until you wise up... so ciao ciao and baci baci kids!
J
