I feel like I can hear Pauly Short. I feel like I’m in Back to the Future. Saint Laurent took us on a rock star bad trip through the 70’s and 80’s. Polka dots, spiked leather jackets, lots and lots of plaid, tie-die, leopard, fringe jackets, denim vests, windbreakers in those wacky 80’s prints, and…

Givenchy SS16
Givenchy Spring/Summer ’16 was a continuation of the athletic inspiration, meets Jesus and impeccable dress wear. The suits, coats, jackets, pants, everything was classic, perfect, not original but classic. The sheer shirts below the suits did give it a modern look. Jesus’ face got copied and pasted back and forth on shirts, jumpsuits, pants…it was…
Ann Demeulemeester SS ss16
Ann Demeulemeester ss16, which remember is no longer really designed by Ann but Sébastien Meunier, put out a collection which reassures us the brand will go on. Although it wasn’t as effortless, androgynous, or ethereal as her designs, the sheer sleeves, layering, and proportions do reflect her aesthetic. The palette included black, gingham, salmon, emerald…
Balenciaga SS16
Balenciaga turned out a chic collection for Spring/Summer ’16, with luxe black, tan, brown, and gray separates: blazers, coats, cargo pants, skin pants, and great suits.
Fashion Comedy: Walter Van Beirendonck SS16
Walter Van Beirendonck is Spring/Summer 2016’s class clown. It makes me miss the circus and cotton candy, but the only article of clothing I like from the collection is the latex tshirt. Checkered and anime prints with cars and rainbows on them, ear-lapels, chicken appliques, and a chicken with beak and extremities hanging stiffly…
Kenzo SS16 Menswear
The Kenzo Spring/Summer collection featured textured knits, parachute inspired suits, shirts, sweaters, and jump-suits. The “Pull” graphic t-shirt was a cute reference to the inspiration, as were the sweaters: I’m not sure about the suits though. The palette included sand or khaki, gray, yellow, army green, burnt golden rod, hot pink & spearmint (drawstring sweaters), …

Dior Homme SS16
The Dior SS16 Menswear collection was boring, plain, preppy, and juvenile. The blue and orange, the camo, the vests, jackets, shirts…everything looked like a prep-school teen or child. Maybe it’s the cut, proportion, and color combined, but the yellow coat just makes me think Madeline. The Dior man is a snobby little country club prick who’s…
Balmain Men’s SS16
What happens when cargo meets moto, and combat boots meet gladiator sandals? Something eye-catching, Balmain’s Spring/Summer ’16 show was on trend and fashion forward. Knits like you haven’t seen: jackets, dresses, blazers- this trend was slayed on the runway, although a knit dress can look a little wrong without something underneath. With androgyny becoming all…
Diesel Black Gold Men’s SS16
The Diesel Black Gold collection, which should be called the white black and blue collection, was full of leather pants, super scrunched pants and jeans, and great blazers, jackets, and high-collared shirts. There was a lace-up detail on the jackets and pants, as well as studs on the leather pants, which gave the looks a…
