Heinous Spring/Summer 2012

Kanye West: The biggest loser of the bunch-

It's hilarious that Kanye thinks it's okay to send clothing like this out, and his ego is so powerful as to distract him from what a puke-fest this collection was. He told us all to give him a chance because he's new and learning. The world doesn't work like that; people don't care if you're new or you've worked so much you're senile, it wants results. He claims he's not just another "celebrity designer" and that we need to give him a chance. But how can we when he acts like only a person cushioned by fame can? Deluded into thinking his "work" is satisfactory and that he will be given a break or benefit of the doubt. If he wasn't a celebrity I doubt his clothes would even make it past the studio. Also, it's offensive that he can think he is a designer after maybe a year of "training," when designers like Azzedine Alaia work their whole lives for that title.

Nothing is okay with this.

Dries Van Noten: 

Nothing new, cheap looking, and not even a better version of something done before. Just a waste of materials and time. You can't even argue it fit well because the proportion and silhouette was all off. Not even the gimmicky prints saved it. Just offensively sloppy and underdone for someone with so much vision and resource. If someone gave any piece from this collection to me as a gift, I wouldn't even regift it.

Whoever can come up with even one redeeming factor for this look wins a puppy.

Prada:

I'll admit it wasn't heinous. But, compared to what she can do, it was. The colors and prints were pleasant, and a few of the pieces will probably sell very well, but it's literalness was disappointing. 

I designed these toaster inspired shoes. I hope you guys like how creative and unique they are, plus they're heel-less which is a real crowd pleaser.

Rodarte:

Like with Prada, it's literalness was offensive. There is nothing great about a famous painting printed onto an ugly dress. I don't know what in the Mulleavy sisters' minds told them this was even mildly okay. On a practical note, I can't imagine anyone over the age of 13 wearing this. Which is too bad since those are the only people who have the money to buy it or occasion to wear it.

This is the ugliest dress I've seen in the past decade. I am not being hyperbolic.
