Let’s start out on a few positive notes ... nothing really to
do with the clothes actually … it was colorful! And the models didn’t look like
they were the walking dead…
Now, let’s get down to business…… HIP HOP!!! Really??? C’mon … as if this hasn’t been beaten to
death now for ages. Tracksuits… it’s Valentino Guccified! or even worse Kanye'd. How sad. Fur flip
flops??

Any hope of recapturing the roots, taste level and allure of
the heritage brand is long gone along anything that might be confused with chic
or urbane. Yes, you can be sure that the clothes are wildly expensive and very
well made but alas who cares?

As if this wasn’t all bad enough did I not detect some takes
on deconstruction ala Margiela? Did I
not detect some gowns and dresses that looked like some very old Louis Féraud? Then
of course there were the signature monastic looks and a few very over the top
over simplified black gowns toward the end. The winner was a hot pink velvet
sliver of a gown mixed in.

I can say there were some of the most unattractive clothes I
have seen in a while... many of them being lace confections and I believe one
of them to be lace, charmeuse and mink all rolled into some kind of demented
cheerleader costume in emerald green … then there was a whiff of Frida Kahlo in
there but god only knows why.

What else is there to say other than why on earth would
anyone design or opt to knock off or rift on what has been done over and over again? The
horse died of a brutal beating a long time ago!
