Laser cuts, stripes galore, intricately gorgeous bags, the Fendi Spring/Summer 2016 runway show was full of utilitarian pockets, voluminous sleeves, truly wearable takes on the PJ’s movement, and how Karl can anything be without shade(s)? There was something odd about those aprons…err- slip dress mutations, and I can only see them serving as a cover…

Emilio Pucci Spring/Summer 2017
I feel like once Dundas left Pucci the prints and glamour left with him. Perhaps I haven’t fallen out of love with the brand, maybe I’m just more of a Dundas fan and loved what he brought to the house. I mean, now Cavalli is killing it so it just goes to show who’s who…
Phillip Plein Spring/Summer 2017
Phillip Plein Spring/Summer 2017 was disappointing considering the last two collections were everything…for SS17 the most eye catching garment was an overalls dress with chain detailing down the sides…but only because it was a throwback to when slutty urban was a thing. The overall jumpsuit featured a denim corset. Phillip Plein SS17 was a step…
Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2017: Seventies Slayed
Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2017 will be the third collection inspired by the 70’s trend- we’ve seen rock star and boho chic looks from the designer recently, and SS17 seems- at first sight- to be a continuation of the last show…down to the set. Asymmetry, Indian inspiration, the expected plethora of prints from the print-master himself-…
Charlotte Olympia Spring/Summer 2017
Charlotte Olympia Spring/Summer 2017 resorted to kitsch over stitch, an the most eye-catching looks were those fruit-tastrophes…this bitch is bananas, B.A.N.A.N.A.S. I’m confused by the costumes…although they’re just on time for some Fruit of the Loom Halloween costumes, and feel like the collection was a monotonous monochromatic presentation of lackluster “fashion,” or boring mall clothes,…
Gucci Spring/Summer 2017
There is a fabulously chic tone to the Gucci Spring/Summer 2017 runway show- seemingly all of the librarian and 70’s looks from the past shows have been leading up to this on-trend collection. Again, some are a little too period costume or should’ve been edited out, but the others are so luxe- the fabric selection,…
Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2017
The Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2017 runway show started off with fashion MPD, a pink gold and black New York graphic and zipper detail pullover and matching skirt, a Pretty Woman dress, pop art, photo-prints, collars and leashes…it got a little “X-Rated.” In Scott fashion, there were nineties and bondage undertones contrasting Nickelodeon references. The show…
J. Mendel Spring/Summer 2017 SS17
J. Mendel Spring/Summer 2017 is fresh yet retro, modern yet ethereal, and just so chic. There’s something effortless, just a bit edgy, elegant, and beautiful about almost every look in the collection. Even those I don’t like still catch my eye in the way the cuts work so well with layering, for example. The color…
Rodarte Spring/Summer 2017 SS17
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7xpW0BAI8U] How do we feel about the Rodarte Spring/Summer 2017 collection? I feel as if it looks like Betsey Johnson, YSL’s 80’s collection and Xena had a baby…sheer polka-dot fabric gathered and ruffled, layered, draped, studded and cut out…it was 80’s Bo-peep. There is some obvious Indian and 80’s influence in the collection. I…
VFiles Spring/Summer 2017 RTW
There is always amazing talent showcased at VFiles, and this year it is no different. A pant jumpsuit…like, shoulder high pants were sent down the runway. These designers have such strong voices, such clearly defined visual styles and aesthetics- from the avant-garde to Asian inspirations. The third designer is my favorite: modern and bold with…
