Never say never!! I didn’t hate it BUT I didn’t love it! The problem being is that I don’t understand where it came from in terms of what does it have to do with the genes of the brand? Aside from the fact that there is no reason to show an outfit in 5 color ways and how come the collection did a 180 and looks very 60s in colors and shapes? Unquestionably, this collection skews much younger than all her socio-political feminist statements of the past.
The colors were an amazingly refreshing change for her and by God, the models actually wore shoes, not boots or oxfords, even if many of shoes looked suspiciously like those from Valentino. Then let’s talk lengths which were certainly not jolie madame and more Carnaby Street and Biba as were many shapes. There were even a few pieces I can honestly say I liked but then again all of it took on a generic tone which seemed to alter the appeal tremendously.
Do we suppose she was told to lighten up on the political feminist manifestos of the past as I can’t imagine this collection was all her idea? I’d like to give her some credit but I really can’t since so much, if not all, of this collection could have been designed by anyone. It was nice to see the models well-groomed and again wearing real shoes and not Doc Martens but once you got past the suits, which there were far too many of, I kept waiting for Twiggy or Jean Shrimpton to appear; while on the subject of jeans, could she have found a stiffer denim?
I might also add that the clothes should been fitted far more precisely and that goes for the singer who gave lots of side boob which reminds me that suddenly the meatball discovered nude souffle which had never appeared before. In the end I can only really say I don’t get it and probably never will no matter what this woman conjures in her head and how she interprets her inspirations.
PS ... fuchsia
shearling... REALLY?
