I think people are just being hars because she is celebrity designer.
I'm not saying that I love this collections cause I like Gwen, I honestly wish that those tracksuits would never see daylight, but I do like the other designs.
And when it comes to that she is copying other designers, open your eyes and look who they are copying, everyone in fashion is copying someone or something.

[ilovegemma]

i really wasnt at all impressed either....the fabrics and colours were ugly (and not in an interesting way) and the designs were either ugly, boring or unoriginal.

i usually like gwen, but im disgusted with her fashion line.

Gwen Stefani Had 'No Doubt' About Her Fashion Line Success
by Mike Baron
Sep 18, 2005

Pop star Gwen Stefani helped close New York's Fashion Week on Friday with the runway debut of her L.A.M.B. fashion line, adding a bit of flash to a week of mostly passive styles. Sony sponsored this show, and it made the most of the media moment. Before the presentation began, cars were covered with drop cloths embossed with PSP, references to Sony's PlayStation Portable.

Designers brought out soft colors, simple silhouettes and tailored looks this week, reflecting a national mood marked by apprehensiveness over the war in Iraq, elevated gasoline prices and rising interest rates.

While the usual glitz, glamour and celebrity sightings were all still visible, some in the fashion crowd recognized the devastation in the Gulf Coast region, where Hurricane Katrina left hundreds dead and thousands homeless.

After the first runway presentation of her sportswear collection L.A.M.B. ("Love. Angel. Music. Baby.") On Friday night, singer Gwen Stefani stepped out to take her bows like a triumphant prizefighter. There was nothing shy about her celebratory prance. And there was no humility as she mouthed the words to her song "Hollaback Girl," which was blasting in the background.

She lingered with satisfaction in front of the photographers. And the crowd -- packed full of fans, many of them bearing press credentials -- screamed in delight. It was a far cry from the typical audience response, which is usually polite, congratulatory and hurried.

Oh please people! It's not like this is the only bad collection at Fashion Week.. seriously. This is a celebrity designer, some individual pieces was better than those who are only designers. Not alot mind you, but it is wearable. And did you really expect a classy elegant line from Mrs. B-A-N-A-N-A-S herself? These are clothes she would wear.. she is in to the hip hop/grundgey vibe.

Sorry for the rant, but it's annoying because I'm assuming half of you didn't even glance at the pictures, you just started hacking on the poor girl because she's a celebrity. It's her first collection, is she's serious about this, it will get better.

Everything aside, the one thing I actually liked about this collection was the use of colour.. I was bored of seeing black and beige for S/S and this was nice.

Actually, I see her as a celebrity who is more intuitive about fashion than most which was why I was anticipating a better collection than this. If you read most of the posts before the pictures were posted, there was a lot of anticipation and excitement so I think the let down and criticism began after much inspection of the pics.

There are some pieces I really like, but I think that the proportions, being supposedly built around Gwen, made the clothes look bad on the models.

Don't like the track suits at all.

What I think annoys me is that the references to other designers are way to obvious. I mean, sure, it's Gwen's line and it reflects her tastes, but come on!

 

[iLoveCouture]

at least she used Louboutin pumps for the show

 

[mylilmike]

I'm sorry.....BUT the 'satinlike tracksuit' is the first ugly thing I've seen her in!! It reminds me of 90's Queen Latifa. I normally love Gwen's clothing, but this has got to go.

 

[mylilmike]

Gwen does NOT look old, she looks likes a woman her age with a ton of pancake make-up on. And the models don't look like P.A.(hehe), they look like the ***** girls from California.

 

[Modelgirlie]

wow, this just shows how great JLo's line was...

LOL.. of course now it's great cause we have something horrible to compare it to.

 

[mylilmike]

There is deffinatly some Grace Jones stuff going on. Over all, I can see the motley of inspiration going on. Tons of pop culture references, and major Cali-chola stuff. I can tell she has a huge imagination(she is a Libra, like me) and I'm confident that after she is torn apart by critics, she will make some MAJOR improvements in her next collection.

Super Grace Jones!!/Users/cca/Desktop/55657600.jpg
