.. Some collections are slight, but cute. Boyd sent out a hippie happy show with bright colors, smiley-face symbols, chains dangling fake fruit and a magic mushroom print. It was a mildly subversive take on the Woodstock years and the striped knits, short skirts and quilted jackets in the inevitable pink made for an upbeat trip..
 
i like -a lot- some of their pieces, like those lack embroidered dresses and the art nouveau-ish happy prints.
The first picture igni posted, is very accurate of the London mood right now, those circle-50s skirts, rock :wink:
 
am i the only one who gets a marc jacobs feel from this?
 
It's all a little too infantile for me. :neutral: The designs looked underdeveloped and reminiscent of Marc by Marc Jacobs. The only look I liked was in the second to last plate Igni posted - the all white outfit. :heart: I love that jacket.

Thanks for taking the time, Ignitioned. :flower:

*Nods* Me too :smile: The whole collection doesn't seem to 'gel' well either. But I like one or two of the dresses.
 
I like the printed dresses, the white pants and the white dress (very much indeed) ... some pieces dont seem to quite fit in the collection to me
 
i like the yellow coat-like dress at the bottom, and other few more..
but overall there are some pieces really out of the whole collection( like what's up with the smiley face??)
