Ehh...looks too summery.

 

[stripes]

I truly don't like this collection

 

[drusilla]

It looks kind of cheap to me.

 

[Fabulyss]

How did this woman get the resources to start a collection?! She's talentless!

 

[gia0202]

ewww-the models are heinous.

 

[taperjeangirl]

That collection looks like it has been designed by a five year old

 

[Whitelinen]

^ I think five-year-olds do better than this

This is quite awful, I have to agree. I wonder if this is going to sell at all?

They probably could!

I don't think the collection would sell at all....Jordan might buy it but that's all I can think of

 

[Whitelinen]

Jordan and this collection I think I am seeing nightmares tonight.

 

[taperjeangirl]

^^^^ Oooops sorry

On a serious note...I agree with Fabulyss...how on earth did this woman manage to start a collection

 

[Whitelinen]

^ Maybe she has someone rich to sponsor her? That's how it usually goes.

Fátima Lopes, ComIH (born March 8, 1965) is a Portuguese fashion designer.
Fátima comes from the Portuguese island of Madeira. She was born and grew up in its capital city, Funchal. Since an early age she showed an interest in fashion and during her adolescence, unhappy with what the shops had to offer in terms of clothing, started to design her on clothes. Being fluent in english, french and german, she worked as a tourist guide for a local travel agency.
In 1990 Fátima moved to Lisbon, where she believed she could better pursue a career as a fashion designer. With a friend she opened a boutique named "Versos", which selled mainly clothes from international designers. In 1992 the boutique changed its name to "Fátima Lopes" and in that year the Fátima Lopes brand was born. In September of the same year, she participated in a fashion show made in an old convent in Lisbon (Convento do Beato), where her work was widely applauded.
In 1994 she exposed her collection in Paris at the "Salon du Prêt-à-Porter Feminin". Two years later she opens her first international store in Paris, located in the famous rue de Grenelle. At the same time she begins to diversify her collections by creating bags ans shoes for both men and women.
In the year 2000 she caused a media sensation by appearing herself on a catwalk in Paris wearing the world's most expensive bikini, made out of gold and diamonds, having its value estimated in one million dollars. In 2003 she opened her first brand store in the United States, located in Melrose Avenue in the city of Los Angeles.

This is what I found of her from wikipedia.org
