Bluebeard's Wives

Is there a point in the universe where something becomes so awesome that the said piece of matter implodes from sheer concentration of coolness? Because if this force exists, I think I would cry because Givenchy will soon be to small to see. 


The Matter in question


It's 90s teen/witchy vibes all over again. doodoodoodoo
doodoodoodoo... so in other words it was incredible. The shapes were just so goooood (see picture 1 through to 8 i.e ALL OF THEM). There were flares which was just greatness revisited after about 5 years of skinny jeans. But anyway, there were with mini skirts! In a very UN-mini skirt stereotypish context (hoorah for my supreme articulateness). I should probably make some reference to pop culture with images on this topic but really I am too tired to think of anything of use at the moment when my brain is in monochrome mode. 


And then there was all the sheer fabric draped over or under almost everything. It was like ghosts were attacking their legs. Or rather haunting them if I was being technical. But really the effect of the layering was beautiful. It softened the rest of the looks and completely transformed the collection. Without it, the clothes would have come across as too harsh when embellished with the (there is no other way to put this without sounding slightly gimmicky) 'punky' finishes.


With this in mind I thought this would be a good time to mention how much this collection's vibe closely resembles that of the (quite) crap tv show The Craft and the (quite) brilliant tv show The Addams Family. Woot. Vibes!
