Oh PUH-LEEZE

 

[Avonlea]

Central Saint Martin should change their teaching programme or smth because every year they keep producing designers like Bovan who cant create a decent collection. This is pure trash. No vision, no theme, no construction just random mess that screams I aM a FasHUn DeSIgnER. It looks like they are just milking delusional losers who think they are the next Galliano or Mcqueen.

I'd say this is a waste of fabric, but I'm guessing he already got this from the scraps bin.

5 collections in and there’s no growth - who’s funding this, seriously.

This sucks lol - but I feel like this would get a lot of praise on that Netflix fashion competition.

I love the spirit of this because its the exact opposite of what Fashion has become today, and it looks like a breath of fresh air. That said it does feel formulaic in that it is very much the kind of wild London creativity that is not necessarily sustained with a clear voice and vision. But I'll take this any day over a huge number of more established brands showing around the world at the moment.

Mmmm, I don't know...it feels like this wild, angry expression of (recycled) ideas and marketing-led, corporate fashion are two sides of the same coin, both pretty sterile, because they don't really produce progressive designs able to change the perception of what taste or clothes should be in the future.
I cherish designers who start from a personal, idiosyncratic vision to go on permeating the world at large, beyond the boundaries of London E1 post code, that is.

And this is not it.

Nothing in this collection incites desire for me.

 

[YohjiAddict]

A mess and a half, difficult to understand and even harder to unsee...Paris can't come soon enough.

well said! I agree up to a certain point .. you’re right when you say that it is essentially the same thing , but I’d still rather have this wanton, messy and unfiltered youthfulness than the cynical, calculated and sterile youthfulness of Burberry for example. But on the whole you are absolutely right
