I realize that I'm probably supposed to hate this, but I actually think it's pretty fun. I haven't seen many Indian influences lately, so in that respect it feels fresh.

thanks for these droogist. I can't say I like it though. is this an Indian label? colour overload. aaah!

I realize that I'm probably supposed to hate this..

this alone makes this thread worthwhile.......

helena, I just googled the designer - he is Indian, and apparently has a reputation for flamboyance. Some of this definitely falls into the category of "Bollywood costume rejects," doesn't it... But at the same time I see a lot of charm and humor here. An Indian Bernhard Willhelm...?

 

[helena]

maybe some of the pieces would be lovely on their own with plain 'surrounds'. stunning perhaps.

 

[helena]

thanks droogist....that explains the colour doesn't it...there are a couple of looks which are slightly more mongolian looking than indian and I like them. I used to be really into that mongolian look (JPG did it a long time ago).

 

[Estella*]

indian willhelm was what i thought, too
i think it's lovely. a bit over the top but i do like it.

 

[Scott]

OMG,droogist,I think some of this is quite adorable! It also seems to capture that same flamboyantly humorous feeling as Moschino before he passed.

 

[liberty33r1b]

i find this collection funny, just funny!!...... hope i won't be asked to explain why.....

 

[i_<3_chanel]

yes it's v.over the top !
but as had been said some of the pieces are too cute
& have to potential to be great on their own imo . .
if dressed down

 

[Mr-Dale]

This collection looks like a lot of fun! Take away crazy styling and such and such and you get a lot of nice wearable and cute pieces to wear! Plus, I see lots of Latin/Hispanic influences in this collection, too...

 

[Erin]

I just don't like it. Unwearable unless you want to look like a goof on the streets. Unmatched, disproportionate. Ack.

 

[Lena]

i dont like this either, maybe few pieces 'pared down' as suggested but still.. it seems a bit 'forced', still i understand that it can seem interesting and even wearable to others

it could be almost 'hot' if it came out last summer or even earlier.

thanks for the topic droogist

 

[iperlchen]

It's cute for carnival

 

[Spacemiu]

I think it's cute and fun. I love Indian clothing.

it reminds me of Jessica Ogden

 

[susie_bubble]

My brain is saying 'HIGH COLOUR ALERT, HATE THIS HATE THIS!' But I'm actually finding myself drawn to some of the pieces. And as said before, if pared down, with a nice plain top, the skirts could be super cute. I could do with injecting some colour into my s/s wardrobe with all the dusty colours around.

 

[faust]

An Indian Bernhard Willhelm...?

Hah, that made me LOL. Some it is cute if you take it apart and tone it down, no?

 

[softgrey]

I realize that I'm probably supposed to hate this,

please allow me....

i will hate this enough for all of us......

...
i think i'm going blind ....
