Wow, there wasn't one original look in that entire line-up of pics except for the gypsy-esque black dresses. The peacoat/cropped pant ensemble, totally Michael Kors, the white coat is so Balenciaga it hurts, the empire line printed gown is Proenza Schouler.....even the shoes look like Prada's loafers for s/s 05.
Perhaps it is more accessable, but that's what bothers me about it. Gucci, for those who couldn't afford it or whatever, provided a kind of fantasy that made people want it. This is so average that people could easily get it from a multitude of other labels/clothing chains. Where's the fantasy? Where's that x-factor? It's like, all traces of Gucci are gone. That's my main problem with it, aside from the fact that the designs themselves are mediocre at best. It's clear to me that this woman doesn't have the imagination or strong personality needed to be creative director of a brand as big as Gucci.
