Slimane, Anyone? There was an overwhelming Whiff of what Hedi Slimane has been doing in his Revival of YSL here today at Blumarine for Fall 2014. It's inevitable, really. As influential as that label and that designer have become, it is only natural his shockwaves would be felt outside his Parisian Sphere. Not to mention that in her most Overindulgent moments (And this was Categorically, One of those moments) Molinari shares much in the way of Aesthetics with Slimane.
Within that, This was a Jumbled Mish-Mash of an Overdone Disappointment. Restraint was also a word that was tossed out of the Window. When a Super Short Black Kimono Dress/Jacket Hybrid came out Lavished with Gold embroidery, one got the sense all too quickly that something was Terribly Amiss. Even for Spring it looked a little Cheesy. For Fall/Winter (Polar Vortex In Mind) it was Positively Incongruous! More Japonica, More Gold, More Embellishment.
Every look nearly was Decorated in some manner and if not, was Too Short or Too Sheer or Too Much Purple Leather for one outfit not being worn by Prince. The Opulent Restraint of a Red Fox Chubby went a long way for itself in the context of this show as did the Sweeping Mantle in Black and Gold over the Short Dress at Exit No. 3. It was Way Over-The-Top but it had something about it that made it Work unlike the rest of this Excursion into the realm of Overladen Excess!
That's All.
Bye4Now!
