I'm really loving the colors, all of those beachy washed out greys, blues and beiges. It's slightly preppy, but in a broken down casual way.

I love the white and greys...especially the dresses! not so much the bright orange though

 

[kimair]

this reminds me of his work for perry ellis so much...

 

[ysljunkie]

looks alright.

I like the grey/white clothes, it's very summery but the pops of bright color seem so random and out of place to me.

 

[softgrey]

hmm...same shoes as last summer...
guess they sold really well...
but doesn't that mean that everyone already has them so they won't buy them again?!?...

I never get when brands do that...
seems counterintuitive...
...

overall...i think the men's is much better than the women's...

Hmm. I spot a few good basics but really, we've been seeing the same thing over and over again for years. Is that what the consumer really wants. Maybe. A reliable stop for basics but really...when do basics get...too basic?

i have to agree. alot of the things do look repetitive from past seasons

 

[Crying Diamonds]

It looks really, really boring.
And I hate female and male shows because I can't stand the latter.

I like the dress on Agnete

its all very nice and cute

 

[adorefaith]

when a yound designer like Jason Wu says that his budget is a little tight to do show AND print campaign, and decides he'd rather do the show so that he can maybe get to a couple of pages in a magazine reviewing his work and get free advertisement, i can very well understand it... but when this sort of bull@“#¬|‚¡¿! gets a runway presentation i really start to wonder where's the point in it! it's just bloody basics!! you dont need to see a runway presentation of it to see how it fits or moves or how the fabric wrinkles... you just KNOW because it's just basics! spend a little more on advertisement, or the stores, or whatever... but there really is no need to do a show for this

I could argue that MOST of the shows we've seen thus far don't deserve full on runway shows because they're all made up of basics and old ideas.

I mean, does Alexander Wang who essentially just shows basics with oversized proportions and jacked up price tags really need a runway show?

At least with the Gap it's not basic pieces trying to masquerade as high fashion.

 

[Dkammern]

^ well then i guess they deserve credit for being a sincere basics label!
maybe this season, if the designers feel any insecurity because of the economic situation, we could be seeing disguised basics collections more than ever. maybe (and i hope so) we will see jsut the opposite!
