some of these paris inspired prints are a little obvious & look like something you'd find in a tourist shop.

LOL That dress with the Eiffel Tower on the back is ridiculous.

What could have been clever/basic pieces were seriously ruined buy "Paris!" and Eiffel Tower motifs. Embarrassing.

it's not a collection - it's a tourist trap!

I don't pay attention to Malandrino so I can't really say anything constructive about this collection in relation to what she normally puts out. But I don't think it's so bad from a mass consumer point of view. I think the Eiffel tower on the back is really cute. I just pray that they have more sense than to manufacturer it in anything larger than a medium. But that's about a literal as I can take. I hate the berets...not because they're berets, but because she felt the need to include berets in a clearly Parisian-themed collection. It's not cliched at all. Where are the croissants? The other not-so-in-your-face pieces, I think women would appreciate. They remind me (not a lot) of the Stella McCartney F/W 2012 collection, only because of the white swirly thingies.
