Donna Karan Pre-Fall 2009

[Dkammern]

some pieces are really nice, some draping is indeed quite flattering...
HOWEVER, it doesnt quite look like donna karan to me.
i know it's sounds odd, but i expected a bit more of hypocrisy... her constant being on the news for financial reasons (not "artistic" or clothes-related ones) made me think she'd go for something more cheerful.
there is something, however, that scares me in this whole realism-functionalism mess. the black and red, the balenciaga, mcqueen, and marchessa lookalikes ready à porter in the streets... i normally only use the above in the zara threads.

the red skin jacket is a little too sl*tty for me...and some of the suitins is boring...

a lot of the draped pieces are really nice!

derivative,derivative....derivative. sorry but it looks like anne-valerie,kokosalaki,sharon wauchob wrapped in lanvin aesthete. not what i remember donna karan to be. even in her draping skills,she was a helluva lot more distinct than this rubbish.
