Jonathan Simkhai Spring/Summer 2016.

09/13/2015.






Mothers and Grandma's usually say, "If you haven't anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" an axiom that in the case of Jonathan Simkhai's over designed and bewildering Spring '16 collection would seem to be apt. Also apropo, "The less said, the better" The collection stumbled out of the blocks and only got more tacky, tasteless and confusingly Arty and Crafty from there, from the unfortunate midriff baring ensembles to the boxy and unfailingly unflattering cuts, to some God Awful design choices (oversized White Rickrack trim? Really?) Simkhai seemed to not know which direction to steer his craft, and in the end, capsized in the middle of treacherous waters and drowned under his own heavy handed excess. With nearly nary a buoy to offer any respite from the cavalcade of quizzically flamboyant fare on display, it was hard to find any moment as a touchstone to save the mess from being a complete and total failure. It was a disaster, from stem to stern. 





That's All.
