The Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2016 collection was a confrabulation of the 70’s with the 50’s, which admittedly did serve up some glamour which was quickly tarnished by the before-pants or up-cycled high-water mom jeans. Metallic embroidery, jewel tone fabrics, weird unflattering bras and boob pouches sewn into the garments, and textile prints characterized this collection, which…

Paris Fashion Week SS16: The Bad and the Blah
There were several collections either too boring, safe, or so unflattering I couldn’t see feigning a discussion, so I decided to group them together. Courrèges: Contradictory to it’s name, the collection was safe and ugly. Margiela: I never like Margiela’s looks…if you were to see these photos without knowing who made the looks, you’d honestly…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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.
