THE MISSES: 

Matthew Williamson

“I wish busy prints would go away.” [loladonna

“I kinda forget this brand existed anymore. When was the last time he made anything memorable?” [Gábor

“I felt his work was way better when he showed during NYFW but I just find his stuff too nice and just simply pretty now.” [LagerfeldBoy]

Mary Katrantzou

“Uh oh. First of all I am not a fan of those opening looks, or the closing ones. They look kind of uneven and sloppy for me, it takes a lot of skill to achieve a good illusion effect. And I don’t want to go there but those embroidered coral pieces are a plain Louis Vuitton knock-off.” [dodencebt]

“Why is Mary trying to veer off her use of prints? It’s what makes her shine and what made her name today. It’s disappointing that she did not use her typical style of prints for this season as well. I’m glad she’s trying something new again but completely abandoning what her expertise is is a little disappointing.” [krncandi]

“The fabrics look special and impressive, too bad the actual design of the clothes is so bad.” [tatouejeremie]

Marchesa

“I despise their clothes. I would burn them all.” [Creative

“You know the Coco Chanel quote, take off one item of clothing before leaving the house? Well with each Marchesa dress it’s like remove five design elements and then you might have a decent dress. Each dress has way too much going on.” [Rose n Toast]

“I believe that Georgina Chapman is a person who designs by the book and relies heavily on construction and heavy embellishment to cover for the fact that she is not talented.” [dodencebt]
