Alexander Wang
Um. What? While boxy jackets have become every street
styler’s staple this winter, I’m having some trouble wrapping my head around
this show. Gigantic fur gloves? Fuzzy nun hoods? Hairy wolf pants? Style.com
wrote that Wang got inspiration from boxing, even playing Eye of the Tiger
during the show. I suppose I can see the connection with the long, oversized gloves
and boxy outerwear. I just don’t understand the overuse of brushed mohair and wool,
particularly with those unflattering werewolf sweatpants. All they make me
think of is women who don’t shave their legs in the winter. And that is not
very glamorous OR very Wang.
Threeasfour
I haven’t heard what the inspiration for Threeandfour’s
collection was, but my money is on alien rock-dwellers. I actually went back
and checked to see if this was a ready-to-wear collection because I honestly
couldn’t believe it. I could mayyybe see the tan skirt being purchasable
without the gigantic bubble-print sweater, or the suit being worn without the
chaps/bellbottom attachment. The fabric looks to be of good quality. Perhaps
the problem with this collection was styling, not design. Though I’m not so
sure of anyone who creates that torn, beaded black number and goes, “Yeah! I
can totally sell this to people!” Or maybe the blue lipstick is throwing me off
and I’m being overly critical. Just maybe.
Bibhu Mohapatra
This collection was pretty harmless, but I will not forgive
a repeat of the enormous fuzzy pants. Also, that laundry-basket hat.
Jeremy Scott
Anyone else read the Goosebumps series? All I can think of.
On a personal note, if I saw that guy in the mouth-suit coming towards me on
the street, I would run VERY fast in the opposite direction and never look back.
Heck, the wearer must startle himself every once in a while seeing it in his peripheral
vision. Beauty-wise, the bedhead hairstyle on the models is quite fun paired
with crazy green eyeliner and shadow.
