The Time Machine is a science
fiction novel by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame
narrative. The work is generally credited with the popularization of the
concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel
purposely and selectively forwards or backwards in time. The term "time
machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such
a vehicle.

Unequivocally
this was THE collection dedicated to
her late brother Gianni and unequivocally this was maybe the most wonderful collection
and maybe the savviest thing that she could have done at a time when fashion
really needs to be reminded of those who made it theater and those who actually
designed what today’s designers merely copy. We went back to the 80s when
Gianni and Ratti teamed up for what became a literally groundbreaking moment in
fashion.

So much of
what you saw was rehash with minor, if any tweaking, but who cares? This is unabashed
unapologetic 1000% who the designer and the brand was ... sexy, tough,
tailored, hot, over the top and designed by a designer!! His style, his way and
let’s say that even the pieces that were filtered in under Donatellamamamia’s
hand looked mighty good when put in context of the brands DNA.

If the woman
was really brilliant this would be the time for her to say adios and go out
with a bang instead of a whimper but that’s doubtful. What is most intriguing
is how when you see these clothes some
30 odd years later and given the direction that fashion has taken.. These
clothes still rock which is hard to believe that we would ever say they are
classics.
