Clumsy, heavy handed, tone deaf, Amish, Mennonite, school uniforms, color abrasive, earth mother, Little House on the Prairie and much more come to mind when viewing this collection but I will say that for sure she has a signature look … its just too bad its not very attractive, somewhat illegible, unappealing to many and certainly not relevant to the time....
PLEASE NOTE I DETEST THE WORD RELEVANT BUT IN THIS CASE IT’S THE ONLY WORD THAT CAN BE USED!
I’ve never understood this designer nor its appeal to anyone who is not on the upper reaches of the size scale. these are the clothes that swallow up the wearer and always have this retro old west feel to them and not in a good way. Call me scrooge, call me old fashioned, painfully honest or overly realistic but we are still amidst times which call for some thinking outside the box and speak to the times we are living through instead of just doing what you always do because that’s what you do!
During my life in fashion there has never been a time like this one and designers should be really thinking about customers and not what design wizardry they think they can whip up to the delight of the so-called media who seem to have no historical knowledge of fashion let any sense of reality.
So, tell me …
where you going in this stuff?
