Every season and city has it’s highlights, but there are also the laughably bad, hideous, vulgar, out of touch designs I typically refer to as Fashion Comedy. London Fashion Week has been full of hideous looks for SS16 and FW16. Last season, I complained of not understanding the proportions, and wondering if it is in to look like a little person in London. Luckily many designers improved their aesthetic and execution for Fall/Winter 2016 London Fashion week, but sadly, others failed epically.
Central Saint Martins
Emilio de la Morena
Everyone knows you can’t overwork satin, but Emilio de la Morena LFW FW16 didn’t get the message, and put out these hideous “designs” of bandage wrap satin strip dresses, and some Bo Peep disasters.
Molly Goddard
Preen
Preen was the victim of over designing- overworking garments by adding way too many details, way to much fabric, the wrong neckline, hemline, sleeve…it was a fashion catastrophe.
Ryan Lo
It’s always confusing when a designer goes for that granny floral sheet fabric, creates unflattering looks using it, and attempts to use satin when they clearly don’t know what to do with it. I think Ryan Lo’s LFW FW16 collection failed due to execution, fabric selection, and a lack of taste.
Vivienne Westwood Red Label
Vivienne Westwood has such a cult following, given she’s cited as the queen of punk, but these looks are clown central, with boldly stupid patchwork, loud clashing plaid and prints… the Red Label is wack for FW16.
Sibling
Sibling’s LFW FW16 collection was a truly mind bogglingly vulgar, overworked, under designed hot mess.
Simone Rocha
When looks are vulgar, highlighting the breasts in a strange way, or grotesquely alter the silhouette in an unflattering and confusing way, like the very period costume looks of the Simone Rocha, it can only end in the consumer looking like a clueless fashion victim.
