Sinah-Stanic

Oops this comment was for Roberto Cavalli not Sinha Stanic but I still wanna keep it here to air my rant on the hideous-ness that is Roberto Cavalli.

1/10 His clothes are ridiculous and not even in a John Galliano inspiring ridiculous sort of way. They're tacky, overtly sexy and just pure trash in my opinion. It's like he wakes up and gets inspired by streetwalkers and Mardi Gras and then throws in lots of nasty animal prints for good measure. Just ICK!

fall collection was perfect, but points off after such a disappointing spring collection. i believe they have a good identity, and i tend to like the shapes and structure of the clothes.

Alber Elbaz (Lanvin)

 

[finalfashion]

Seems like a sweet man and I love the full skirts and tiny waists... 7/10

Halston

 

[The Baron]

An important link in fashion history. He was doing minimalism and simple luxury before minimalism was cool. It's a pity this house had such a fall from grace, because there was certainly plenty of grace in his designs. And the sad irony is that nowadays we see McCartney and Lagerfeld doing H&M collections and being lauded for it, when Halston was practically condemned by the upscale marketplace for doing a line for JC Penney.

Jun Takahashi (of Undercover)

 

[marnilover]

6/10. He always sticks to this non-conformist theme, however his transitioning for the different types of non-conformism is not too organized.Last collection, it was very veryboyish. But this season, it was very dark and rock and roll.

Anna Sui

the way the clothes are styled may be a little too much for my taste, but if you look at the pieces individually, they're not that bad. room for improvement...

Jil Sander

 

[jennifer~]

7/10, for being boring only a fraction of the time..

Martine Sitbon

 

[The Baron]

^^ Now I have that Pet Shop Boys song "Being Boring" stuck in my head

Martine Sitbon...she's sadly underappreciated since her departure from Chloe. An excellent knack for no-nonsense elegance. She has an eye for blending the girly with the womanly in a completely harmonious way, and likewise for minimalism and romanticism. Here's hoping she gets some solid financial backing and some commercial traction so she can get her business going again and continue impressing us with her designs.

Alright, it's time to separate the lovers from the haters...someone do:

Tara Subkoff

 

[finalfashion]

Sewing while drunk is a no-no. So is leaving the house with PMS. If these things are not the reasons why Tara Subkoff design the things she does... I want to know what else could possibly inspire her with such... ideas.

Seriously, though, sometimes I like her stuff.
4/10

Geoffrey Beene

 

[marnilover]

8 out of 10, He had alot of nice garments that were inspired from the sixties, but some of the stuff is too conservative.


Karl Lagerfeld for Fendi

 

[eternitygoddess]

10/10 Valentino. The beauty of his designs never cease to amaze me.

10/10 Christian Lacroix. His two previous couture collections were magnificent. No one can do color like him.

 

[The Baron]

Since my predecessor missed the part where you rate the designer proposed by the person before you, I'll do Karl Lagerfeld for Fendi...

6/10 - It's by no means incompetent stuff, but you just have to look at that 12-iPod Fendi bag to know that Karl too often has no one but himself in mind when he designs. And that, really, is his greatest weakness. Under his watch, Fendi has produced some truly lovely items, but they've also produced some incomprehensible duds. There's no question, though, that Karl is responsible for the Fendi brand being where it is today.

Mary Quant

 

[finalfashion]

Ok, Mary Quant. Perhaps she didn't invent the miniskirt, but she was definitely a standard bearer for boutique culture, and in her day was the first equivalent of "cheaper-fashion-forward clothing for young people"... who knew how big that would become... a savvy business innovator who did cute clothes and made available what wasn't before...
