Well, I’m sort of speechless and astounded to say there were a few pretty pieces and lots of mediocre and then of course there were the usual hideous things that make you shake your head and ask why?
Somewhere between Mrs. Maisel, I Love Lucy, some sapphic undertones and a school girl or waitress fetish, Maria actually turned out some wearable clothes albeit they are just clothes ... generic, no particular point of view and all over the place ... which all of that is hardly surprising but worst of all is that the collection looks dreary and tired. Where is the Dior DNA?
I can’t get past that black laser cut leather pinafore and a few outfits that look like waitress uniforms or the little girl dresses that would make a woman of a certain age look like she was trying to relive her Shirley Temple stage and mom jeans. The gowns are really more superfluous than ever as they range from down and out ugly, tired and amateurish to one simple basic black.
The palette is far better than ever before but what exactly is she saying with a collection like this? There is one egg shaped plaid outfit that makes you flinch since the model looks pregnant and then we have the Chiuri penchant for some of the ugliest shoes on the runway but that seems to be a trend this season.
In a season when some would think that comfort and ease are key, here we have a plethora of rigidly tailored suits and jackets, trapper hats, kerchiefs tied ala Audrey Hepburn and vinyl patent looking bomber jackets that look like they fell right out of a 70s Macy’s catalog.... what is she thinking?
I guess the bottom
line is she eked out a D instead of an epic fail and she just can’t get past
her predilection for sheer and so I ask again ... what’s the message here!!!
