THE MISSES:

Balmain

“I’ve seen better collections from Project Runway.” [alonsoJonathan]

“Someone stop Olivier. NOW. Stop this Kardashian-inspired trash.” [EstefaniaAbaddon]

“I really fear for the self-respect of whomever wears those ruffled pants. That’s all I have to say.” [StoneSkipper]

Rick Owens

“Yeah it’s very easy to joke, as the punch lines practically write themselves, but in all seriousness there’s a very glaring problem with these shock value collections of his lately and that is, quite simply, that the clothes do not rise above the gimmicks. The gimmicks (I’m sorry but the high falutin explanations do nothing for me) become the entire point of the show and, sorry, this is a fashion show after all. Be creative. Be inventive. Try to make something that people feel they haven’t quite seen before or at least in a while. Don’t ever lose sight of the fact that the clothes are supposed to be the center of attention. They are the point of it all, at the end of the day.” [Spike413]

“JUST LOL. Usually I love Rick but come on… I gotta give props to the models who have the strength to carry the human ‘statement draping necklace.’” [Kaye Beeh]

“Hey bitch, WHO are you wearing?” [gazebo]

Chloe

“There’s some nice looks here and there, but there’s also a lot of ugly, and mostly, it just looks all over the place and terribly generic.” [mistress_f]

“It’s the worst Chloe collection I’ve ever seen. Even MacGibbon’s work was more exciting and fresh. I don’t like that theme as a whole and the colour palette is bad.” [perhydrol]

“What happened? I thought she was on such a roll with her last two collections, but this… this is horrid. It’s clunky, it’s unflattering, it’s tacky…” [StoneSkipper]
