Degas liked painting ballerinas. So he painted a whole bunch of ballerinas. And he did it again. And again. A lot of great artists have repeatedly painted the same subject. It's quite possible that Barve's creative spirit wanted to revisit and look at his last collection through new eyes. But this is fashion, and that excuse doesn't work so well when the industry is so fickle with its affections.
On a brighter note, I did really like his collection. I liked the both the applique and the printed shift dresses. And I loved the very bling strapless black shift worn with black legging and mary janes. Tres chic!
I really like the coat on the top right. Most of those dresses would look terrible on my body shape. I keep hoping the shift look will go out of style.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I believe that as long as you are comfortable in your own skin you can pull anything off. One of the most well dressed women I know is a large bodied woman. And some of the outfits she wears, even though one wouldn't expect such silhouettes to suit her, look amazing on her.
ReplyDeleteIf you really want to wear shift dresses, but aren't sure how they'd look on your body type, then you could try accessorizing it well, with a belt (I have no idea what your body type is, so I'm just making random suggestions) or cross-shoulder sling bag or maybe a statement neck piece.
i loooove the way you write! way to go, Lisa!!
