Turns orange in icy water

Classic Marc



It's amazing how fast fashion moves these days. This collection was such a far cry from last seasons nostalgic neutrals. For me it was a bit of a jolt. The 'theme' (another brilliant word from the Oxford Dictionary of Pretension) was the seventies. Something that's been an underlying factor in the autumn/winter collections but not come to fruition till now.  

The colour was, colour? Warm muted jewel tones and dusty pastels were used on everything. The fabrics were kind of weighty looking? I love the use of habitae silk (pic.5, 6 and 7) just because I love the idea of being able to (kinda) mould your clothes into cool shapes.


Each look had some kind of adornment in the hair or on the neck. Some kind of flower (chrysanthemum's?) crafted in feathers or silk. The collection definitely needed them to bring it all together, but some of the flowers were bordering on vulgar. Maybe that's just because I've never been too fussed on the seventies era style wise. But I guess I found it all a bit much. Some pieces I love, and some I don't. The same system applies for every collection I've seen, just with a different ratio. 


Overall, I can see how it is a good collection, it just isn't very appealing to me in particular.
