These pockets- aren’t they nifty? That may be the last time this collection excites me. I feel as excited about these as the model does. Look at her enthusiasm! It’s bursting from her! 
…it’s textural, right? Her knees are warm on open-topped car trips, thats good, tight? 
Not sure about the hem business, but the cheetah jacket has interest. 
Shoes. yes, please. I like the blouse a bit too. I think I’ve done this inadvertently. 
Huh. She seems disgusted. Maybe she keeps trying to tuck it in. 
Is that one piece? I feel the need to pull her up by the shoulder pads. 
Ooh- pleating! Also a hem like opera curtains! 
Im afraid of what this may look like from the back. Is she holding it down at the sides?
I wouldn’t have combed my hair for this outfit either. 
Underwhelmed. Please change my mind in the comments.

It’s like someone was on vacation and left the staff to throw together something from what they wore into work that day and from raiding their mother’s closet. That fur knee warmer was the best thing on the runway, at least you will remember it…like Heidi Klum says “it was a snooze-fest”. If Michael Kors saw this he would vote it out because it does not fulfill his “commercial criteria”…it isn’t even a cohesive collection.

Who is their target audience for this? I’m pretty sure I had the facial expressions and hairstyle of that model when I was nursing really young kids who hadn’t yet learned to sleep through the night.

I was (or am) a little afraid to post this, but here goes: I like this collection. Sure the model isn’t too happy, but what model is happy – my gosh! The poor girl probably hasn’t had a decent meal since she was 11 years old.
The clothes I find inspirational because I could actually recreate many of the elements in the clothes (unlike so many other designers) and the fabrics – didn’t some one write it look like fabric from a hotel room? Sure the fabrics don’t photograph so well, I bet the fabrics are draping, soft to the touch and so wonderful next to the skin. Comfort people! Comfort! Who doesn’t want to look great in fashionable well fitting clothes and be comfortable, too.
And the shoes . . . I Iike the shoes. My days of wearing heels have come and gone so I am always intrigued when designer actually shows a model wearing shoes a real middle aged woman like me would wear!
Oh and one more note: those pockets are in pant pattern in the March Burda Style. I just finished the pants and still need to blog about them.

Most of it looks like it was made for size 18 and slapped on the size 0. Either that or the model was a size 18 and she went on a starvation diet while the collection was being made. Hence the droopiness of the clothes and the model.
