Anthony Vaccarello’s Spring/Summer 2016 Collection started off with some Miley crotch bearing skirts, was that tiny flap expected to cover their Britneys? It can be forgiven, because the later skirts, a halfsie pleat like we’ve been seeing, and leather with metal embellishments made up for the slut-skirts. The show was cool, modern, retro with the…

Each x Other SS16
Each x Other SS16 was a refreshing kind of old meets youthful, with an obvious Victorian influence in some of the sleeves and pants, which were tied with black bands in this cray cray effect. The fabric selection invoked the spirit of the 70’s with textile prints and soft flowing fabric in loose fitted looks…
Dolce and Gabbana SS16
Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2016 was a youthful collection, Jeune et Belle, with girly prints, embroidery, and appliques of flowers, phrases, Italian buildings, and pom poms. There was the dichotomous old lady present in the collection as well: she first reared her head in the matching coat, seemingly a lemon or floral print which looked…
Dsquared² SS16
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…
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…
Gucci SS16 Complete Pics
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…
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…
Daks SS16
I usually love when print and scale are played with…not so much here. Daks had a lot of misses and few hits for Spring/Summer 2016. The white button-up with gray peplum skirt was one of the few pieces that were wearable, normal- yet that horrid waistband makes the waist look wide. The color palette and…
Calvin Klein Loses It for SS16
For Spring/Summer 2016 Calvin Klein lost its effortless minimalism & used a heavy hand on satin- an amateur mistake. Garments looked like shredded hoarder clothes, failing design student projects, and just plain wrong! Stretch mark fabric- or sweetbreads, house dresses, double breasted- meaning four boobs- double bodice horror, granny looks, and a shredded hoarder cat-tastrophe…
Boss SS16
Boss’ SS16 collection screamed 1970’s with a modern twist. Fringe dominated the collection, with fewer floral prints than expected. The palette included white, cream, gray, bold orange and blue, banana yellow, pink, navy, and black. There were many simple solid colored but well tailored pieces, loads of sheer silk chiffon dresses- many of which were pleated, as well as linen,…
