This season’s Givenchy Haute Couture collection looks weak. There are too many reference points, the themes seem confused, the clothing lacks beauty, and the model casting was terrible. Quite disappointing. For me, Ricardo Tisci is a pret-a-porter designer, not Haute Couture.
I Adore…
this dress (or is it a top and skirt?) The shape of the ruffles frame the body and the contrast of soft ruffles, strong lines, and floating feathers is pleasing to the eye.
this ruffled dress. It looks very "Lanvin", but stunning nonetheless.
I Loathe…
the white gloves, the shape of the trousers, and the feathers protruding from the stomach.
satin shorts with knee high boots and a giant feather top. This works for Sonia Rykiel, not for Givenchy.
the look fo this dress, its seventies hippy but none of the rest of the collection is.
this horrible disco outfit.
more scary disco outfits, this time with a fluffy collar.
the ballgown gone wrong. The bustier is too low, the skirt shape is just weird, and why is there a slit when the skirt is so voluminous?
