Ashish Fall/Winter 05/06 London

I'm not so sure this collection does much for me, there are some nice pieces but I omitted lots of 50's college-girl looks of swing skirts and sweatshirts.

all pics from catwalking.com

some more...

 

[kitsch]

Very kitschy, I like.

 

[AlexN]

The stuff in the second post reminds me of experiments I did with computer art programs in elementary school. It's kind of fun to look at, I guess.

 

[Mr-Dale]

It's fun to look at yes, but I don't think this sells...plus I think the contrasts between boring and supercrazy (colours/prints) are to big in this collection, somehow....

 

[MulletProof]

very unoriginal but i like most of it.

 

[Tinetush]

I like it too, I would wear a lot of it.

 

[liberty33r1b]

some pieces are nice, very nice to mix and match .....

 

[Spacemiu]

it's cute, kind of like dries van noten but more cutsey.

 

[mishahoi]

whoah, am i the only one who thinks its disgusting? the patterns are horrible, i hate the silhouette, and oh, the patterns are horrible. three sicks from me

i like the applique fabrics for the coat and skirt but as a collection.. its a bit heavy, not to say dated..

 

[softgrey]

i agreee with a lot of what's been said...
dated, heavy, kitsch, won't sell...
i wouldn't wear it personally...and i don't really like the prints...

not very creative at all...if i see ONE MORE SWEATSHIRT>>>>

 

[TheSoCalledPrep]

i feel like i'm on an acid trip and i'm eating Now & Later candies...

 

[marrimoda]

in the first four pics i started out thinking...okay, fine...
but by the next round of pics, it lost me.
the scale on the patterns is off, to me. It seems to have needed to go a couple steps farther to refine the idea of the prints...maybe on a much smaller scale the prints would not have been so ... pointlessly unattractive. I was turned off. I dont know why anyone would want that exploded colorful uninteresting print all over a tent shaped coat. Then we see it again, in a pastel colorway, with a giant bow at the waist. I cant think of a sole who'd want to dress this way.

 

[Sloan]

Don't like this at all. The colors/patterns together are too much for my taste. Thanks for posting though.

it's cute, kind of like dries van noten but more cutsey.

eating my words once again.. after reviewing the collection, i actually agree with space's comment.
i think they have a great 'youth' potential both in their shapes and their work on fabrics.. i bet they will develop in a good way

here some of my fave looks, including those adorable full round skirts

 

[Di Moda]

I have to agree with the general consensus here, fun to look at it, not sure about seeing it worn. I think it's an excellent use of composition and colour aswell, but the only two outfits I could see walking down the street are the following;

 

[ChrissyM]

I prefer the more understated looks from the first post. It looks like some of the pieces would work well as separates, and though the patterns are attention grabbing they are also distracting. I'm personally not afraid to experiment with colors and patterns but some of the looks are just too over the top even for me.

And some of the pieces definitely lack any sort of shape which makes them unattractive--namely the brightly colored geometric patterned long coat. Just bad.

 

[tortoisie]

I did like some of the stuff, but yes, it's a bit outdated. but i like some of the patterns on the skirts! and this one is my favorite!
