THE MISSES:

Jil Sander

“I was utterly bored the entire time. Although a nice collection in many ways, for some reason it didn’t feel like Jil Sander at all. It kind of looked like he tried to blend the fall LV collection with the minimal Sander aesthetic, but kind of failed. A very big let down.” [orthelian]

“Despite this being a rather nice collection, it evoked nothing but wistfulness and boredom from me. I’m looking forward to seeing where Paglialunga takes the brand from here, but I’m having a hard time letting go.” [vandekamp]

“It’s not a bad collection per se, but I’m not convinced. Something about it feels terribly imprecise, which feels wrong for Jil Sander. Moreover, I don’t know if it’s the pictures or the styling, but some of the skirts seem terribly unflattering.” [Thefrenchy

Versace

“And…it’s a bunch of crap…which resembles some beginner fashion student collection or even Zara…rather than anything even remotely Versace…sheesh…unbelievable!” [softgrey]

“The first half was actually quite decent, but all those dresses at the end were simply horrendous.” [Marc10]

“This wasn’t Versace. It felt like a less expensive, diffusion line of the brand. If there is one thing you can always count on to see in their shows, besides tackiness, is luxury – and sadly I saw none of it here. There is an undeniable lack of attention paid to details, the fabrics look basic and borderline cheap and the glitter dresses simply do. not. belong. in. this. era.” [dodencebt]

Dolce & Gabbana

“Same old simple silhouettes. The prints and embellishments are meant to save the collection or lift it, but they don’t. The designers are driving on cruise control.” [Nymphaea]

“Does their sh** sell so well that they literally do not bother anymore and just do the same thing over and over because they know they’ll sell it?” [Thefrenchy]

“Same old same old. I knew what I’d see before opening this thread.” [KateTheGreatest]
