As I predicted not very many days ago, Donatellamommamia is
at it again.
She may be a stylist but
certainly she is no designer, as I see it, with no technical skills and
increasingly I find very little of her output that can be considered tasteful.
Then again, if your tastes lean toward mistresses of oligarchs, call girls or
boys who sell their wares in the shadows of the night, you might have struck
gold! She has yet to find her footing in
women’s collections and she surely doesn’t have a handle on men’s. It is
difficult to come out of the shadows from her late brother but the reality is that
she needs a lot of help whether it is in the women’s or men’s collections
If not for the fact that the brand is known for its
tailoring, Miss Thing just seems to consistently turn the brand into the punch
line for bad joke.
Suits beautiful! A few sportswear pieces on the tasty side! Then
sooner than later it just all goes to hell in a hurry. Why we have engorged
lattice cut outs, we have engorged fishnet, we have frond prints running up the
legs like tuxedos. We have gold embroidery, we have male pulchritude and we
watch as Rome burns, so to speak.
The last but not least we have Signora’s attempt at mining
the archives and poor dearly departed Gianni must be spinning faster than the
speed of light in his grave. It is all so gratuitous, so forced, so expected
and so cheap looking … except for the suitings and rare exceptions. The only
plausible explanation here is that the mindset is decidedly Middle Eastern rather
than Russian and the far is east is basically
ignored other than for suits.
There is nothing more to say and no reason to beat this dead
horse as rigor mortis must be seconds away at this point. Povero Donatellamommamia
