So here is my conundrum with this collection… I think Donatellamamamia got the vibe right and possibly even hit the mark with some of the clothes BUT … and I emphasize BUT… it was by mistake.

You could be Carmen Miranda in your Flying Down to Rio skirt or some naughty slut girl in your Carol Baker Baby Doll dress but then I realized that the star fish pattern is derived from some very serious fine jewelry as does the embroidery (yes, I’ve been reading a lot of jewelry books lately). Looking even more closely was the added attraction of the shoes which were a fashion statement to embolden each look and then I knew she took this seriously!... don’t ask about the hair I haven’t a clue!

What could have been a very tongue in cheek and … well cheeky collection was presented with a far too serious intent and lots of jiggling boob. Even the tailored jackets looked right but as PIECES not as outfits ands then take into account the sheer amount of dresses which certainly led me to believe she wasn’t giggling when this was designed and that’s the pity of it.

Of course it was total over kill, but no more than let’s say Dolce & Gabbana, except like I’ve pointed out... one came off joyful while the other came off as a serious no holds barred collection as if to ignore the world’s pandemic state, and I know you can say that doesn’t mean that all clothes need to be dreary or look like sweats but there is a tone deafness when a collection looks like nothing has changed and we are all free to go and do as we please anywhere anytime.
