While the Gucci Spring/Summer woman may be a librarian stuck in a time-warp between the 70’s and 50’s, it is truly refreshing and relieving to escape London Fashion Week and move on to the better constructed, designed, and executed Milan Fashion Week, where we will see the top designers we love. Lace, silk taffeta, silk…

More Ugly London Fashion Week Looks
London “Fashion” is anything but stylish. With designers showing truly hideous designs proving a lack of understanding of design principles, nor an understanding of the female form or how to use darts to give it shape. For that I say Fuck You London, your self-proclaimed bravery with fashion in style is a fallacy proven by…
Christopher Kane SS16
Remember FKA Twiggs’ dress at the Met Gala? Didn’t you expect Christopher Kane to take that art and hone it into fashion? No, he just got more arts and crafty, as evidenced by the Christopher Kane Spring/Summer 2016 collection. We’ve seen better art made by 3yr olds. The zip-ties are proof they likely play with…
Burberry Prorsum SS16
I feel as if the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2016 collection was much less fabulous that the Menswear show. While the outerwear is, as expected, gorgeous with lace contrast details like we’ve seen in other shows, and the capes are beautiful, the rest of the collection is lackluster. Slip dresses looked like negligees you shouldn’t leave…
London Fashion Week: It’s Bad
I now define London as fashion hell. London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016 has turned out the worst fashions we’ve seen…ever! Proportions that make even models look deformed or like little people. There seems to be a lack of understanding of design principles, and a disregard for aesthetic and the human form. While Londoners are self-proclaimed…
Laughable: MM6 Maison Margiela
What can we expect from the creators of the before-pants fit only for Spongebob Squarepants? Nothing! MM6 Maison Margiela is yet another laughing stock and sorry excuse for a collection. Dude looks like a lady, and lady looks frumpy as fuck…this isn’t cool chic androgyny, but rather ugly sorry excuses for fashion. I truly hate…
Issa SS16
This is the most modern cut-away-shoulder we’ve seen yet. Mad for mod: love these two shift dresses. How to make tie-dye fab? This ornate take on the otherwise frumptastic look is the only way! Even the caftan was modernized by making it a hi-lo: loving this collection- it is the way to…
David Koma SS16
I love the zipper-pleat effect of the skirt, but wish it fell like an underbust corset, as it seems to add ever so slightly to the volume in a weird way, but this is pretty. It’s overworked with all the elements- that’s 2-3 looks. Much better when edited, no? I loved it as a…
Jonathan Saunders SS16
Jonathan Saunders SS16 was both a fun way to flashback to the seventies and a granny fail at once: the former in the 70’s trippy asymmetrical checker print dress, yet I’m getting that Chipmunk 20’s granny vibe from the bow-neck blouse and salmon skirt…that’s not a good thing. The yellow dress takes us back to ugly…
Preen By Thornton Bregazzi SS16
Preen By Thornton Bregazzi SS16 was another heavy handed collection of London Fashion Week. O-rings, which could’ve been used in a much better way rather than this obviously forced design development. The garments looked stiff, overworked- even those meant to evoke the seventies with cut-away-shoulders: this inorganic stiffness was the thing that tied this collection together,…
