Undercover Fall/Winter 2017
Seventies influences met with a western flair- layered contrasting colors and textures with knits, graphic tees, creepy faces photo prints, ascots, double breasted jackets, ski masks…there was a lot going on in the Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2017 collection. The runway makeup featured both understated nude faces, lips, and eyes; and insane runway beauty looks with […]
Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2017
Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2017 was a continuation of their against-the-grain 80’s vibe…the only thing on-trend about it was the carpet bagger jackets. The silhouettes, the grotesque sloppiness of it all was off-putting – it was stiff and cheap with leather, gold lamé…sleeves and shoulders dropped more and more throughout the show. Is that a drop…
Balmain Spring/Summer 2017
Can I be honest? I want Balmain to switch it up next fall in a major way. This is like a three season transition here, and while there have been such glamorous looks, I feel like there isn’t enough of a contrast from SS16 to SS17. The post-Olivier Balmain has gone from edgy and grunge…
Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2017
Fencing has been done recently, but for Spring/Summer 2017 Dior put its own spin on it. Jackets, vests, and dresses bore signature details of the sport: quilting, straps, and studs, with a nod of a hat or visor. Gorgeous graphic dresses, knits, and skirts; on-trend below the knee skirts paired with red Moto jackets and…
Givenchy Couture FW16 Fall/Winter 2016
The Givenchy Couture FW16 Fall/Winter 2016 collection was a mix of the unwearable and originality met with attention to detail. Ill-fitting party streamer and fringe dresses added volume to the natural waistline and did nothing for the models. The mirror mosaic reveal beneath black beaded zipper paneled blazer was a unique twist on blazers similar…
Balmain Resort Spring/Summer 2017 SS17
High-waisted pants with Hip-high slits, bustiers, capes, flowing wide-legged jumpsuits, sheer chiffon, ruffles, bishop sleeved and sheer detailed blouses, turquoise and leopard tassel and crochet detailed belts over green and orange jumpsuits, a navy lace-up off the shoulder crop top, chokers, a leg and midriff cut-out top and skirt similar to dresses worn by JLO…
DSquared2 Resort Spring/Summer 2017 SS17
Let your freak…errr…British flag fly with flag and patch detailed bags, unusual nose and lip jewelry, lace-up knee-high peep-toe boots, fedoras and caps, classic cut outerwear and shirting, cropped denim cargo vests, and bleached destroyed denim, the DSquared2 Resort Spring/Summer 2017 womenswear collection mixed the 70’s with a bit of a punk influence. The long…
Hood By Air Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear
I’ve spoken about multi-functional details and separates, jackets you can take off and attach to your outfit, for example. The Hood By Air Spring/Summer 2017 menswear collection featured zippers strategically placed to hold a jacket, a bag…or arm slings and straight jacket sleeves, or even in the construction- original details such as the pant leg…
Junya Watanabe Spring/Summer 2017 Menswear
The Junya Watanabe SS17 menswear collection stood out mostly for its graphic prints and contrasting sleeves on leather jackets and coats- or visa versa with leather sleeves on blazers. Something about the eye graphic print and halftone print face t-shirts look dark, the first of which reminds me of Dali for some reason, the later…
