So, I’m guessing someone told him it was time to let go off
the drug addled prepubescent heroin addicts and so he traded them in for an
army of Barbies all dressed up to go to
her Hollywood premiere. And so in response Hedi Garbo took the opposite
approach and used pretense and hubris to take one more stab at it. Here’s the
thing, just because you want to make believe that is what it takes to be like
“old time” couture by the numbers... well it aint... not even close... 150
seats given only to the fawners… oh yes Suzy meh will look so pretty in the
blue fur or possibly one of the bagel dresses… so no one knows what fall 2016
in store will look like but yet 150 sets of eyes have been scarred for life.

For a split second, one thought that maybe le Grand Hedi...
huzzah... had actually paid homage to YSL but that moment came and went in a
flash... the tailleur with point d’esprit blouse.. Just a fleeting moment. There
were a few actually but overall this collection turned into cartoon
clothes/Jessica Rabbit or maybe it just looked like Stephane Rolland designed
it.

Ya think the shoulders were exaggerated enough, the skirts were absolutely
hair grazingly short BUT to his credit Hedi actually had these so called models
wear hose. It is just too bad no one told Hedi that leather shoes are not to be
worn with any type of evening or cocktail clothes unless metallic or suede.
That alone shows such a lack of understanding... well actually a lack of good
taste works for me!

I mean the mini bubble skirts or bagel dresses, the
blindingly bright gold, that cinch belt, the ridiculous fur sleeves and the
almost unanimous overstatement to the point of parody. Another bright spot was
the polka dot tiered Carmen Miranda skirt that screamed YSL but alas still not
quite right. Apparently Hedi had the idea of motorcycle jackets over cocktail
clothes but it’s too bad Karl did it about 30 years earlier but he used
motorcycle boots not pumps and well... Karl did it better. If there was a
collection that screamed for leopard it was this but of course nowhere to be
seen except as A belt.

As in the case Balenciaga, apparently an archive means squat
if you don’t know what you are looking at; maybe it’s just dumb luck that he hit
the nail on the head a few times which is a few more times than in any season
in memory.

Lastly, if this is his “couture” that means this is the
giveaway collection that only the privileged with be “allowed” to own or those
deemed worthy of this shit... Pauvre Hedi... your Kool Aid must be mixed with
LSD and Clorox!
