As I browsed through the first few looks of Erdem‘s show, I started to wonder: are there too many “print” fashion designers in London? But I think that calls for its own post. This collection was a disappointment. In my opinion, the prints were quite ugly and since Erdem relies on the prints to drive the collection, there wasn’t much left to look at. I just didn’t like the 80′s, outer-space looking patterns, which is a shame as he usually produces such beautiful work.
I love…
great pattern placement on a very classy dress.
this pretty lace overlay.
I loathe…
a tacky 80's print on what looks like cheap-plastic-y fabrics.
throwing a random, boring sweater over a dress. Is Erdem trying to branch out into boring knits now?
a print that looks too DVF and a shape that looks very old-fashioned.
that these prints just aren't doing it for me.
