Those peach pants are awful...

i'm not loving what i see so far...
the peachy/orange color just isn't gelling for me

I take it as a bad sign whenever the designers are dressed better than the models

i'll post the rest of the looks... maybe it will get better?

a lot of this just looks like bad 90s to me... and i HATE the makeup :yuk:

Nope doesn't really get better. : /

The couple polka-dot pieces are about all I really like, which is disappointing as I like some of their earlier work. This just has a bad-trampy-90s vibe. I like some 90s fashion, but not this take.

just bad, what were they thinking??

Agree Chrissy M - what is with the eye makeup. Yuck!

blech... i just looked at it again...
nothing

maybe the last dress with the sheer skirt and the cutout is ok?
but even that i don't really like...
just disappointing because i've liked vena cava in the past

there are a few nice pieces in this mess

but my god, what a mess it is

I get what they were going for with the hair and make-up but it ended up making the collection look even worse than it is, and I don't like how the materials are photographed. Maybe it looked better in motion?

Thanks for posting the collection though!
