I love that first Karaca skirt and shoes. The shoes sort of have a 'cast' feel to them but I like that (I am a fan of VPL who have a sort of medical feel to a lot of their clothes).

 

[Scott]

Not bad. I like the way she plays with the concept of the corset. Even in the denim stuff,nothing appears like a generic play on the fabric.

 

[Lena]

the short boots are great but i'm not taken by her mix&match

 

[LolitaLuxe]

Overall all, all of their works are pretty intresting. I like Katie Zorn's technique and cutting and Martin Lim's soft tailoring and technique.
