They dont have the dress at the final?

It's Russia in life

 

[WheresMyUmbrella]

Why so much hatred??

This collection is freaking adorable. The mixed plaids are genius.

 

[Bidwell]

The plaids are all specifically British and the scarf reeks of Sloane Ranger and the Queen. Not very Russian IMO.
Nicely done for all the overkill but that's the point and subtlety isn't their style. Some of those pieces are going to fly out of the store.

 

[rouge_red]

to me this is quite a rip-off of Prada SS08. (esp the patterns and a few pieces too)
And I don't like this.

 

[defiled]

i really like the tights

 

[Crying Diamonds]

Lol, I just watched half of the video (as it broke half way) and I think most of the looks were actually frightful, but, what I do love is how the uber-glamourous models, radiating beauty, radiating perfection, just looked like normal people - even if it took a Queen Hermes-esque and full plaid to do it - it was cute

 

[Dkammern]

i cant like it! it's off, there's tartan, theres knit-patchwork (that does nothing for these girls figures), there's tartan overdose (i know i mentioned it already, but there was just so much), there's hairy red vests, everything seems unfitted, there's just so many things going on!!

very similar to what happened with ss08!!

(i like TWO trench coats... and that's about it!)

i want the sexy jeans and transparency from FW05!! all wrapped up in astrakhan!!

 

[Spike413]

Some of those skirts are god-awful.

The kind of thing that would get you judged a lot if you wore them.

And are those elasticized waists I see?!?!?

 

[2Nova]

i dunno i think the collection as a whole is a bit overkill as many have said... however i think if you were to dissect each look and take pieces and incorporate it into other outfits... they'd probably work quite nicely!

 

[kahlilg]

Man I really hate it. I this collection is good in theory, but how are most of these pieces supposed to relate to the average international woman? I love the idea of the inspiration from the 70's, but they didn't relate it to present day at all! I can't see a lot of women wearing this.

 

[mackos]

I absolutely LOVE that! Granny chick plus babushkas, that's so great!

 

[cake_batter]

the cowhide bags are to die for, but the rest is a bit... overwhelming. i see ugliness is a real trend this year.

 

[DandyWarhol]

i dont really know what i think of this....

 

[kriszti.md]

Granny's gone wild

 

[Aby]

The collection is not that bad and I'm not a D&G fan at all.

The styling is horrible. The tradition of the brand being to overwhelm every look but single pieces like dresses are really cute!

You took words STRAIGHT out of my mouth.

 

[TheVeed]

I must be insane, but I actually think this is a very good collection. The styling, obviously, is over the top, but it's a runway show. Piece by piece, some of these are actually really BEAUTIFUL! Not what I'd expect from D&G

 

[junegloom]

I actually like the dresses...they seem light and airy, they're very nice. But I'm not a fan of any of the pants because of the patterns, I just cannot see anyone willingly wearing those pants. The "granny" concept is interesting though!

 

[James1057]

im so shocked by this collection! i think i was expecting more from them
