OMG - No Francesco! Many pieces are so Alessandro Dell'Acqua

^^^my exact thoughts

 

[FashionPower]

Good collection but I'm not really impressed
Last season was much better,but I love that he does over the top glamourous shows

It's not bad, but Francesco can do so much more. I'm getting this should be vulgar, look like it's ripped off on a hot steamy night, but I'm just not feeling it, with all the peek-a-boos in unattractive laces. It looks like a Francesco parody, a mock-up. It's kind of a ridicularized vulgarization, with the cuts and ruffles in strategic places.
And the last dress on Emily Baker is hideous, might I add.

But there are some pieces worth of mentioning. Love the whole look on Daga - love that belt. It should be a fun nod to a woman's sexualization, not those boob-rip shirts that look pretty much ridiculous.

This is pretty much my definition of unwearable . I almost feel itchy looking at that horrible lace carefully placed in all the wrong areas, and not in that Prada 'I'll put it exactly where you hate it the most' way, it just seems all well-intentioned and wanting to denote class but when the clothes aren't ruined by such frills, they're ruined by color, unnecessary detailing, overly trendy or passé elements. I'm not allergic to luxury or Italian excess but it does seem like for some designers, less would make them shine a lot more. Most women do not want to look like an abandoned chandelier.

It feels awfully crowded and doesn't look particularly comfortable. The lace overload is quite silly really.

I like... nothing. How boring and as others have said, uncomfortable looking. It's not even the kind of uncomfortable that you would still wear because it's beautiful.. I'm truly unimpressed, especially because I have actually quite enjoyed Scognamiglio's last couple of collections. Bleh.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

Too much of the same thing; it kills its effect.

 

[pizzicato]

tacky.

Francesco has a great eye for detail and mixture of different patterns/materials. I can see the passion and investment put into the clothes. There is a lot of storytelling and character in his presentations which I also love. He knows how to put on a show and stays true to his roots.

well it's classy but maybe too tight
