Here’s my conundrum: I know this is a hyped up collection
and frankly I can say I don’t get it but in the same breath I say who cares.
Yes, the clothes appear to be beautifully made BUT explain to me why I find it
so yawn worthy and boring. At first I thought it was reminiscent of Delpozo but
upon second and third examination it is a distant cousin.
Yes the clothes are rooted in volume and sculptural aspects
and yes many of the silhouettes are wildly exaggerated especially in the shoulder
department but after that what’s left? An absence of color induces the
sensation of ... Didn’t I just see that … it is then that the lack of color
becomes a source sameness. The draped pieces come off a bit heavy handed if not
just plain odd. Apparently the hats set a mood each season but can someone tell
me that mood? Apparently my memo got lost in the mail telling that I MUST love
and pander to this collection. I don’t love it … I don’t hate it...I am
ambivalent… I just want to know what all
the fuss is about… simple!
PS ... maybe it’s the smorgasbord of references which
include Ric Owens, the Japanese, Delpozo to name a few
