The Versace Spring/Summer 2017 fashion show featured windbreakers, sporty body suits, drawstring gathered dresses, and suits belted at the natural waistline. The color palette tottered between the dark, with black, and the bold, with emerald green, grape, yellow, all sewn into an abstract graphic print. The square-toe platform boots have a pop of color and…

Gareth Pugh Spring/Summer 2017
Since it is Throwback Thursday, let’s discuss the Gareth Pugh Spring/Summer 2017 LFW collection, an avant-garde, grandiose, even theatrical show. Like something out of a Lady Gaga video, this dark and dramatic 3D sculptural masterpiece strut onto the runway. Speaking of which, I can see her, Beyoncé, and Katy Perry in Pugh, and feel as…
Moschino Spring/Summer 2017
Jeremy Scott’s nostalgic pop culture, animated, and fashion referencing designs always have us reliving our childhood…now through paper dolls. Tabs on the sides of garments, all about teddy backpacks, and even on faux caps created this magical runway show full of paper barbies…a continuation from seasons past and, given I didn’t like the last shows,…
Fendi Spring/Summer 2017
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-…
No. 21 Spring/Summer 2017
No. 21 Spring/Summer 2017 was refreshing with its layering of contrasting fabrics and materials, sheer, mesh, feathers… The color palette was mostly white, with black, navy, and very soft peachy pinks with rust floral prints and embroidery. There’s something a bit reminiscent of the Material Girl; note the studded platforms, similar to those shown at…
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,…
