REALLY unflattering skirt lengths....and the sock/shoe combinations are BAD. I really like the long top in the first post though. It reminds me of marc jacobs.

Hah Helena, I was going to say I thought Karen Walker went Marc all the way.
The last dress from #3 would be awesome if you found it as a cheap vintage piece.

 

[adorefaith]

the dress in the 3rd pic of post #1 is gorgeous...
otherwise.....very drab.....

Agree 100% with helena and perlefine - this might as well be a Marc by Marc Jacobs colections. Only with really bad shoes.

A few cute frocks though.

Some curious details here and there, that don't disappoint... but I have to agree with helena/perlefine/droogist, that sentiment could be applied just as easily to any Marc by Marc collection.

A few cute frocks though.

I've decided to focus on the good.

That black dress with the high collar and swath of fabric flying away in the form of some scarf...that's lovely. Promising stuff here but I have to agree,it's a bit Jacobs-esque...

And Doc Martens-style boots? One could say that's another associatation with Jacobs-the whole grunge phase. Just please tell me they aren't making a comeback!

 

[jhaime]

I almost hate it...expected better...

 

[Mr-Dale]

Wow she did went Marc! I am not very impressed by all this. I mean, some of it looks good, but I just do not get it...

 

[liberty33r1b]

^i'm not really impressed either, i mean, were the socks really necessary?!

 

[iperlchen]

The socks always return in her shows, I guess it has become her signature.

 

[Yppe]

I like most of the dresses, and the socks would look good with another kind of shoes, not with those, but I think they're cute.

i liked the brown /turquise cotton lace dress at post 4 and maybe the pinafore skirt which could have been promissing if the length was longer...
apart from that nada

 

[Spacemiu]

I like it, I think there is nice stuff. I like ehr mroe when she does cut, creative things, this is a bit boring.


Personally I like the shoes.

It is a rip-off of Marc but a good-rip off, so I may still buy it. I can't resist clothes like this. I usually pick up some Karen Walker when I'm in HK coz she's pretty big over there.

While I admit I don't see much here that I like and I do agree that the socks have to go it really bugs me the whole Marc Jacob's look-a-like comments.

I have been a fan of her for a few years now and this is her style and has been from the start. Most of you have seen Marc's collections for years because he has been showing in NY, Paris etc to the international press where as Karen has only in the last few years started showing in London before that only New Zealand and Australia. I'm sure not many of the members here pay any attention to the other fashion weeks around the world besides the 4 main ones.

She does work with stylist Heathermary Jackson who has worked with Marc in the past and maybe that's has something to do with it. So in a way I can see where your coming from but it still bugs me. I might be cause I'm not a Marc Jacobs fan.

I do love that brown dress with the blue dots.
