Better call in the Special Victims Unit... There’s been a
rape! It’s the rape of fashion and we know who did it! The victim is the
business of fashion and the co-conspirators, though not named specifically, include
major media outlets for conspiring in print and on the internet as well as
unsuspecting fawning know nothings who think it will be to their advantage to
perpetuate this fraud and felony.

Somewhere, this reviewer read that Shayne Oliver, the
designer, if you want to think this was designed, (I prefer to think it was
engineered) said the collection was about “fucking up your school uniform” and
then some babble about deconstructionism. Here’s the deal, when one thinks of deconstruction
one thinks of Martin Margiela not these useless assemblages of cloth or the obliteration of a garment. As for
the school uniform, well, cut me some slack... beeotch!

This is one of those times when no matter what the blah blah
blah, the clothes speak loudly and they say WTF am I? As any seasoned fashionphile
(buyer, designer, and retailer) can tell you, one of the things you learn early
on is about hanger appeal because after all you have to sell what you
buy/design. In my mind, hanging any of these creations is akin to throwing them
on the floor in a pile. These are the clothes, the term is used loosely, that
require an instruction manual to put on, that is of course assuming that anyone
in their right mind would pay for them.

How do we as an industry applaud this kind of fraudulent talent?
Is this the quintessential dumbing down of fashion? Might this be one of the
great PR scams of fashion? Why doesn’t anyone speak the truth about what they
see based on their knowledge, which is of course assuming he or she has any? Who
does this appeal to? Do you want to have your collections judged alongside this
or equated with this?
