I don't understand this at all, last collection is one of my all time favorite, how come the fall collection turns out to be like this? sigh

the tattoo tights are so weird... wouldn't you want to avoid any possible ed hardy comparison??

i just don't really find any of this to be good to be honest...

I really like the black fur coat with the grey and pink bands; it fits like an ordinary coat and it just looks so snug.

Jen's latest suffers from having to bare comparison (particularly in that 3rd look) with SS10 McQueen. That's a brave place to go.

Her signature cobweb knits, that she's been rendering just as effectively as Mark Fast over the last couple of seasons, morph nicely into a story encompassing both chainmail and seaweed. An irridescent hard and wet mermaid warrior.

So good conceptual development of signature but ultimately I felt executed half heartedly and a little clumsily.

Generally the collection's themes are delivered coherently although I failed to understand where the horizontal stripe pieces near the end came from. And another winter collection that feels terribly summery.

I thought for a moment of the maximalism of S11 Meadham Kirchhoff but the moment was fleeting before concluding Jen both tried too hard and didn't push the boat out far enough.
