If memory serves me correct, she is always consistently adorable! The structured looks remind me of more recent Marni collections. The last four looks are a bit regressive. Seem like filler material, imo.

They did a great job with the hair!

 

[papa_levante]

And these pieces are perfectly cool!

hmmm, it seems to me that a lot of her charm has been lost. there are a lot of cute pieces, but it just seems blander than previous seasons

i have to get my thoughts together on this one..but i must say I like the colour palette

ok overall, design wise there is nothing to go crazy about( like most NY shows, but some very wearable looks and the above look got my attention(mainly just the colours)..along with the circlular sleeve/shoulder. The elastic/ruching reminds me of junya watanabe's parachute white collection.. i dont know how flattering it might be on most womens body types tho

^yeah..i esp. like the blue+green. i find it a really hard combination.. but i really like it here

 

[SomethingElse]

Interesting to look at but there are few pieces that are truly wearable for me. The jersey is wonderful, and the color pallette. But I feel as though it's trying to be quirky instead of simply being quirky. It's kind of forced, overall. I don't understand the tunics at all. So common and outdated.

Is it supposed to have that, "Look what I made, mommy" quality to it?

Best not quit the day job, at least for now...

VPL? I thought this was gonna be something about Visible Panty Lines

 

[lmelanie]

I love this. Such clean lines..

 

[Bidwell]

I certainly wouldn't hire her as a stylist after seeing this. Besides, how can she do both properly? It shows she can't.

 

[wheneveriwakeup]

The styling is a bit pondered, but that's her 'thing'. She takes herself either far too srsly or not at all.

I'm hoping for the latter...

If it were dissected, one could find many adorable and functional pieces, esp. the tops.

i love some of the more structured pieces but i have to agree with somethingelse that it does seem a step-back from her previous attempts...trying to hard indeed. and she is a good stylist...i dunno what's going on here because it's usually alot more cohesive and less hit and miss than this is.
