Okay, i've never been one to whinge over bad styling,designing, etc as fashion is art and art is a personal taste kind of thing and who the hell am I to judge someone's taste.
BUT, I will make an exception to my rule for the next 5minutes while I go on a short, or rather long rant about how high my eyebrows raised while peeping through the new Chanel collection shown at St Tropez' famous Sénéquier.
For years, no, decades the fashion industry has idolized high end fashion houses Like Chanel and have sourced inspiration from them for the seasons trends and so forth. The world practically follows every move they make so we can be more Like them and be more "high end" which Is why I am, quite frankly, appalled at Chanel's Collection.
The collection looked Like it had come straight from an op shop, and not in a good way. Tacky denim skirts with frumpy fucia cardigans waddled down the runway on "curvier" models (which was great but against everything Karl Lagerfield has ever said about him only using the thinner of the model crop) and horrendous frilly pant suits came out along with, yep, 3/4 length denim trumpet skirts....
"oh no he di'int!"
I know that things can be basic/ugly for collections in high fashion houses and it's always cool because "it's designer dah-ling" but no matter how much you spend on that ugly (yeah I said it!!) 3/4 length fluted denim skirt IT WILL NEVER BE COOL! Ever.
And it's not even that the range was shit, but the range was shit and messy. There were florals, wannabe karate suits, hints of western and cowboy, a flouro pastel wetsuit colour pallete, and crotcheted dresses without any flow at all. It was Like watching a fashion-school-drop out's wanna be launch with collections all midges mashed together and badly styled.
So Brisbane, no matter what designer it's from, no matter how much it cost, please- respect your style and stay out of what could soon become a horrendous fashion trend of denim morman skirts and overly fru-fru pant suits.
Gahh.
The ROF.
