What the hell? AM I the only one who doesnt like it? I mean its pretty and all. But it looks cheap and ******y to me. It looks too cruisey with no actual archtecture behind it. Apart from the prints, which happen to be very cool, everything else is just ugly.


*EDITED FOR PROFANITY*

Oh and I also like the shoes too. A lot. Thyre very trendy.

^ I just hope that more people find it ugly...
it will leave me with greater choice during sales next year.....

Maybe i'm the only one who isn't fascinated by the prints.

How stunning! Even if it's a bit marni-sh to me, anyway is impressively beautiful, love the color, prints matched all together, such a great work.

thank you for the additional shots, adorefaith! the details are gorgeous .... I'm completely in love with the patterned shoe. The shoes along with the dresses are the easy way to try out the multi pattern look!

My thoughts exactly, Melt977.

The shoes are quite sexy!

As Melisande brilliantly pointed out, this asethetic is incredibly ethnic and considered beautiful in several, fascinating parts of the world. I absolutely adore his take on this. He always manages to combine sheer beauty, complexity and ease.

awesome awesome awesome. i usually stick to solids, but would never tire of wearing the prints here. and how i yearn for those accessories!!!! def one of my favorites so far, but that's no surprise, dries always is.

 

[crepebacksatin]

i was just thinking about how i need more prints in my wardrobe, and now this!

the colors, the shapes, the embellishments, everything is beyond stunning.

that v-neck dress with the sequins and the stones is amazing!!!!

 

[LaurieAnn]

I want all of the accessories, especially the large stone necklaces and the first pair of sandals in #64. Breathtaking.

The styling is awful, but some of the pieces would look nice individually.

I agree.

I like a bit of print mixing, but this is a little too much for me...

Either the colours should coordinate, in which case the patterns can clash, or the patterns should coordinate, in which case the colours can clash; not both, IMO.

Otherwise people just assume you're a bag lady and/or got dressed in the dark.

 

[chloehandbags]

The styling is quite genius, I think. A flawless juxtaposition of prints is a major feat to achieve... only few can truly do it, rly.!

Well, I'm afraid that I don't really agree that this is a flawless juxtaposition...
