ugh this is horrible! The men's jackets especially. It's all rip off of clothes from like 2002. What the deal?

I think I might like this one? I want to see another picture of it, and see what the back looks like.

fashion designers do not equal conformists

If fashion is art than why are so many well established fashion designers seem like conformists? I don't believe that any kind of art should be limited or confined to a standard or even have a certain template to start off with. Fashion shouldn't be in catagories either like classic, punky, or what have you. Also, what is with so-called "contemporary art"? Technically, everything had to be contemporary at one point because it was new at one point....
I know I'm ranting and raving but I so sick of being told how art has to be done and art is fashion, fashion is art! Thank you if you actually read this!!

Kenneth Cole always tries to makes shocking campaigns, but his clothes aren't shocking at all, the only shocking thing about his collections is that they are shockingly boring.

Ugh, I am annoyed by his designs. I mean yawn yawn yawn, I see Gucci, I see a bit of Guesquiere influence, then I see DKNY and a bit of Lagerfeld Gallery.

Oh, please, it's killing me to look at something so terrible.

More pictures. And I have to agree: Boring!

boring

 

[Meg]

those later pictures are better. That one dress is actually kind of growing on me because it looks like it has great flow though I think that it would only look good on someone with a similar type of body as the model.

 

[metal-on-metal]

haha is the man on the left yawning?!

I think that sums up how most of us feel about Kenneth Cole and NYFW, in general.

 

[Mr. Fabulous]

eeh, kind of boring.

It IS, isn't it? I think I see the problem here. Your assumption is that Kenneth Cole is a designer. He is not. He's just a name on a clothing brand, and he has a team of designers trying to promote that he is actually a designer, but it's not him. I don't believe he was ever really a designer
