Anrealage Spring/Summer 2016 is the most Lady-Gaga-Appropriate collection we’ve seen of any fashion week thus far, globally. From the Avant-garde looks, from the eye-high pleated anonymity designs below (perhaps up Sia’s alley, that contrived bitch), to the mirrored kaleidoscopic looks, this collection has balls. It is all costume, but to go beyond the limitations of fashion…

Anthony Vaccarello SS16
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…
Salvatore Ferragamo SS16
Salvatore Ferragamo has set out to redefine its brand as a fashion house, seeking to expand beyond its market position of leather goods– shoes and bags, belts and wallets are what we thing of when we hear Ferragamo. Has the brand truly shown us fashion in the seasons that have passed since it announced that…
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…
Marni SS16
Marni’s SS16 collection was remiss of fashion and design…the butcher aprons, the shapeless voluminous looks which seem to prove the female form couldn’t be appropriately blocked by these “designers.” It’s funny to see materials and elements used by other designers in a cool refreshing way seem so out of touch here. Marni is a fashion…
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…
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…
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…
