Lacroix 07S Hits & Misses

For the 2007S collections, designers seem to have gone one of two ways. Either really pastel, modest suits and dresses with a few choice colour outfits thrown in to accentuate the clean look. Other chose colourful, flashy dresses and pants (namely Christian Lacroix). Of course that is all good and well, but there are bound to be complete misses and clothes can go either way (too drab to be shown to a group of fashion elite or too hippie with clashing colours).

And it really pains me to say it, because I really love the rest of his collection, but this outfit is too old lady for words. You can even see that just wearing it is causing the girl to hunch over with age. Someone pass her a cane before she falls down!

From a certain distance, those white heels look like white runners. Not fashionable.

You can really see the designer had a bit of a black blobs on white fixation. If it were at least knee-length, it wouldn't have been as bad. But as it is in the picture, it makes a model look shapeless. What chance to regular women have?


It wasn't all bad, however. Aside from those two disasters, the colours and cuts of the other garments really won me over. And the haircuts really have to be commended. They compliment the clothes and make them more dramatic.
