I'm sure this like will look better in the stores than all together like this, lol. I usually love her clothes. But several of the pieces seem sort of unflattering.

I saw a lot these in their showroom the other day. Very well-made, lovely palette (she always has great use of color and fabric), but sort of hectic and uncohesive. I do like the structure of the jackets and skirts. The black belted dress over the blue & green DVF-esque print pants is a nice combination. In fact, maybe the whole collection feels a bit DVF to me. I notice that a lot of the brands oriented towards the "fashionable young female jetsetter" are playing with very similar styles at the moment.

too many unrelated looks

The background looks like the Hershey's dress one of the designers made in project runway.

Nice fabrics and colors, but I swear this woman has the worst taste in hemlines.

^ Yes! You're absolutely right.

I knew there was something wrong, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it!

Shame really, as apart from the hemlines throwing the proportions off and falling to the most unflattering place possible, on most of the models' legs, I think this is a nice collection.

This is a nice collection even if it is all over the place. The first half did nothing for me but pieces in the second half sparked my interest.

Yeah, and for some reason I feel as if the hips are kinda awkward. They're now voluptuous nor pencil. I guess she didn't explore the high waist too well.

the background complements some of the pieces nicely

 

[TheElitist]

helloooooo there's too much going on with all these pieces. a poorly put together collection.

What's going on here? Not my style and I just can't like it.
