This is one of the shows I've had the pleasure to be front row for seasons ago. (Thanks Mimi!) I remember appreciating her textiles the most. She had this one model in the show and I could never understand why she chose an anorexic girl to wear a backless dress...it was gross to see backbones and spine ruin a beautiful evening piece. I'm happy all her girls this season look healthy but it could very well be because this is a fall collection and these models are fully covered. And I love that in a FALL collection. It's funny, there is this old quote I love and always reminds me of these stick figures, which I relate to because I was called anorexic every day of my pre-teen youth but it is true; "There comes a time when a woman must choose between her bum and her face." Stay away from the skeletons, Veronica..and all you other designers for that matter!! A healthy looking face is worth a little junk in the trunk even at a fashion show. Haha yeah right - not in this era. But if it doesn't look right, it's better not to send it out on the runway. I say that because it's the one thing from her show I remember instead of the full impact of the collection. Nevertheless, this is fashion and it is what it is, for now at least. I just love her work regardless. She is a true inspiration, totally wearable, and yet unique and genius with her color choices and print combinations. They always seem to work no matter how many different prints she uses. I'm never a fan of one shoulder dresses, but these I would buy and keep forever. It works because she balances the naked shoulder with opposite skirt slits and dark color offsets. I would also love to wear one of her turquoise pieces with the red stained fur from this collection. ♡
