For a year or two there, he delivered edgier collections, but now he's adopted this vampy trampy Versace/Balmain aesthetic. For me, personally, that's a turn in the wrong direction.
Julien Macdonald RTW Spring 2014
September 14, 2013
The collection was packed with enough sheer, sparkling dresses to outfit a mermaids' ball. Macdonald went overboard with sparkles, glittering appliqué, and beading on delicate, sweeping gowns crafted from sheer tulle or his signature spider-web knits.
One number had a plunging back adorned with what looked like bits of glittering seaweed, while another looked as if it was covered in a jumble of gold and silver matchsticks. A gown with a V-neck that plunged to the navel was covered in tiny ornaments resembling shards of broken mirror. Macdonald's lady - whether she's on dry land or sailing the high seas - won't go unnoticed.
Yeah it's very reminiscent of Versace's last couture collection as well as the one dress he did for Beyonce for her tour, it's repeated at least 4 times here.
