I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed by this collection. It’s true there were some amazing pieces, but the overall show was meh. Many of the looks were frumpy and seemingly thrown together. I’m all for layering, but when the pieces accentuate each other. The layering in this show mitigated the qualities of each piece rather than highlighted them. Furthermore, the collection is rather un-feminine. Even the dresses were accessorized down, hiding the inherent femininity dresses possess. Check out the photos below and see what you think.
