Today we speak of simple! No tricks, no deception, what you
see is what you get simple! Simply said the new eponymous collection by Tomas
Maier is simply simple aka quite generic. It would be a lie to say that there aren’t
very chic understated moments here but they translate chic and stylish because
you know the origins.
The collection sis extremely wearable, extremely
“digestible” but also extremely run of the mill and well... simple! We all know
that Mr. Maier is of design royalty who rules over the kingdom of deceptively
simple and modern but here alas what you see is what you get and it hardly is
reason to raise a flag and rejoice. There is a somewhat retro-ish feel to it
with its dirndl skirts, pedal pushers,
pointy flats and rolled up cap/cigarette sleeves which all would have been
somewhat campy and fun if these clothes were priced within the realm of H&M
and Zara but alas they are Neimans, Bergdorf’s, Barneys priced and therein lies
the fly in the ointment.
Yes the reviewer is cognizant of the fact that there are
women who exist or existed who have had their gardening togs made to measure by
the likes of Balenciaga, Givenchy and Charles James but it is hard to believe
that any of their “relatives” will be flocking to scoop up these clothes by the
armload.
Bottom line here is, well... simply... The clothes are fine, even pretty but my take is this...
who cares?
Oh yeah.. the colors are nice.
