gius, it's all too good!!!.. the skirts, threeasfour, the shelley fox looks.. !
..I never heard of Rowan before.. that piece thing is just STUNNING, I can't imagine how great it must feel to wear it.. I once layed on nails in some children's museum.. if that's something.

Great thread, Thanks for the pics.

I am deffo anti minimalist (in a rococo way, not a donatella way), so a thread like this is right up my alley. I really want to say thank you for posting the lesser designers rather than just the big boys.

That exquisite detail...to me THIS is fashion!

mullet!!
i could tell those were blumarine from a mile away!
it's always the details that draw me when i look at clothes from blumarine...
some can be too over the top and girly but you posted a lot of really great pieces

rodarte is another one of those lines where it's all about the details..
those hems/edges especially

very nice..
great contributions everyone!
