Dsquared² Spring/Summer 2016: Why on earth would you tie-dye vage-centrically? Let’s make a vagina the focal point! Um…let’s not. It was basically swimwear with holes in it paired with the aforementioned tie-dye from hell. I am a fan of Dan and Dean usually, but I’m afraid the only thing fashion about this collection is the…

Bottega Veneta SS16
The Bottega Veneta Spring/Summer 2016 collection was a confusing one: are those big pockets or horrible seam work on the leather coat? That second look is perfect for the girl with D.I.D./M.P.D. (multiple personality disorder), because she can dress like two different people at once. Maybe those nuns had a point to the whole fingertip…
Roberto Cavalli SS16
The Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2016 collection started off looking like home-sewn projects crafted by Romy and Michelle. I don’t understand why the collection wasn’t edited down. The O-rings did create unique looks, however, there were too many rings used. The jumpsuit, leather vests, and the short dresses were or could’ve been beautiful, but the ruffle…
Jil Sander: Curious George Meets Ranger
Jil Sander’s SS16 look would make a perfect Curious George costume…or a Canadian Ranger maybe? The collection was atrocious, frumpy, ugly. Although there were unique details in the shoulders, the straps used on the dresses- which then took a turn for straight-jacket without committing to the design…no pun intended, and original looking shirt dresses with…
Versace SS16
Versace can oftentimes be quite loud and tacky, short and slutty, and we did see the house err on the bad side of judgment and taste. While the cargo utilitarian trend was taken head on, the prints were a little much, reminding us of the pre-Donatella days- they swallowed the models alive! It looked like…
Moschino SS16: Taking Names!
Moschino SS16 was another fun show proving Jeremy Scott is a genius! The expectation for cuteness overload was met honey! The show started off in a construction traffic jam: traffic cone, hard hat, tool box, and sign bags, dresses and separates with yellow and white and orange and white caution stripes…the thigh high boots were…
Costume National SS16
Costume National SS16 was confusingly dichotomous, as was Fendi. How can one collection be original, fashion-forward, and at the same time bland? The notch-lapel detail on the little black dress and original cut-away of the shoulders on the blazers were unique and interesting (I don’t like the shoulder detail, but it’s original nonetheless). The sheer…
Emilio Pucci SS16
Emilio Pucci lost it for SS16: the feminine silhouettes and gorgeous original prints have given way to ho-boh-no-you-didn’t rags, DIY patches atop net, and an overall atrocious ghastly collection.
Fendi SS16
The Fendi Spring/Summer 2016 Milan Fashion Week show was a seeming continuation of this Milanese librarian look? I don’t know if in Milan librarian meets bishop sleeves and collars evokes the 70’s, but the collection had this strange dichotomous tone of old and new running through it, which made sense when we saw the two…
Les Copains SS16: Mod Nod
Les Copains evoked the 70’s in a modern way, not using the exact dreaded yellows, for example, and creating modernized looks that nodded to the era I love to hate. See how the more abstract floral is sophisticated without the use of the ugly paisley in that oh-so-70’s yellow hue? The high boots are on-trend,…
