Bill Blass Spring/summer 05

I'm not liking the big padded shoulders.

 

I love the yellow shirt and blue skirt

 

not original...at all

 

I didn't really like it either. it seems cold. when style.com stated that is hadn't yet found it's soul, it was right. it's really cold and it's just a collection if you know what I mean. there's nothing to it, no feeling. Lots of the pieces were really plain though, and I like that.

My Faves:

 

I know the owners very well. They are penny pinchers scared to make a real statement, scared to spend money promoting it, scared to spend money period to bring them into the 21ist century. The best thing that ever happend to them was Lars and they fired him and treated him like sh*t, right when people were starting to pay attention. Micheals days are surely numbered. The leadership is in their own world really. Micheal is just a pawn with no real power but will take the blame. Thats how they are at BB.

 

this collection is spot-on for the blass client...

and i think that the almost resort wear is a perfect splurge for a young person not quite in touch with some of the suiting and dresses offered.

 

I like the little party dresses.. the green short strapless one.. and the very pale blue one... but it's nothing new or innovative...

 

BAHAHA! Some of the replies in this topic are hilarious!

I agree, very dated, and derivative of other collections.

 

this collection is very blah...does nothing for me. maybe for an older woman perhaps?

 

I agree that there's nothing new here, but I still like a few of the looks. Could be a lot worse.

 

Is that "Dallas?"

 

hehe, the comment about pat clevland and her daughter was hilarious!!!! hahahaha

ok, so while the collection was aiight, there were some stunning pieces sure to end up on the red carpet in no time... and the models looked great!

 

And the backstage picts looked amazing
