a win / lose situation.

so i was having a browse on this infectious thing called the internet, doing some ''research'' for college and gracing www.style.com with my presence, when i came across some designers that i had never actually bothered to look at properly before. i have fallen in love with one, in particular. and another, who i would be very familiar with, has made me actually want to die.
so i'll harp on about the good stuff first. i was looking through moschino cheap & chic, and between the eye catching heart-shaped bubblegum pink back drop on the catwalk, the optimistic colour popping prints, and the statement accessories, i just couldn't get enough. 35 looks just didn't do it for me, i wanted more. and still do. taking inspiration from the sixties, there are lots of ruffles, there are patchworks, bloomers, thigh high dresses, ankle grazing dresses, crisp white blouses, A-line double breasted jackets, and a quirky take on men's formal wear. shoes were accompanied by laces of what i made out to be satin ribbons, tied into lovely on-trend bows. correct me if i am wrong.
as far as hair and make up goes, there were fresh faces, pink lips and cheeks, and pony tails. simplicity, which was refreshing. full of wit and charm. all in all, very girly and cheeky, or should i say ''chic-y'', haha. no.

anyway i was going to pick just 4 favourite looks, but if 35 wasnt enough... so i've picked 8. and here they are...



so there you have it. if i had to choose, it would be the white dress, 2nd from the right in the top 4. i just realized how small those images are, apoligies. amazing work, Rossella Jardini. keep it up.

now onto a not so flattering collection... i've just looked at it a second time, and decided that some pieces are wear-able, but is he actually taking the piss out of the boys? again, we see lots of bright colours, denim, lace, and leather, but for the boys too...? yeah, lace... i just don't know, if someone can help me out, please do. because i'm struggling with this one.


i'm all for edgy and quirky fashion, but since when are men ALLOWED to wear lace tshirts? these poor guys look proper humiliated. i'm not a fan of the ill-fitting trousers above, either. i just don't know what to say, henry.
as for the ladies, i picked 3 things that i would wear out of this collection. a sleeveless shirt dress, a denim two piece, and an over sized/ off the shoulder jumper. you would see these for sure on the high street, i'm not just being nonchalant, because i have enjoyed other collections of his, but i can't appreciate the majority of this one.


tangerine lace, wet-look tshirts, half denim/ half lace dresses. speechless.


bitch, out.
