Todays designer likens this collection to easy travel wear. I see it, I do. I also see what happens after the plane crashes and you scour other peoples luggage for useables and steal all the parachutes- see what I mean?

Ok, how is this staying on? I can’t walk 5 feet in a towel and she’s prancing about in a halter diaper?!
Are those luggage straps?
For casual nights tending the SOS fires-
Your purse also doubles as a life preserver!
I like this one-
I do wish I could rock billowy, but I’d just look like a bouncey castle….
I appreciate that even after the crash, she still accesorizes-
Not one bra in anyones luggage?

I kind of sort of maybe like the last one, you know if it was 1995, I were Kate Moss, dating Johnny Depp and incredibly, incredibly high. Did I mention high? You’re still stuck on Johnny Depp in 1995, aren’t you? Me too. JOHNNY, I MISS YOU! Wait, what were we talking about? Harem diapers. Secksi. You know you’re just jealous.

Wow, have I found my true style? Actually, for once I didn’t laugh … I really liked most of these, and appreciated the concepts of the ones I wasn’t crazy about. Where did you find these? 🙂 Thank you. I will now go pitch a tent in Nature, and wear it from time to time.

I like the first one but unfortunately I am not tall/young/willowy enough to get away with it. The pantaloons with the sausage necklace was too much though..

From the construction time that these garments needed…other than the tan dress with pockets…the only almost wearable thing….one could whip up any of them in less than an hour from start to finish…now if only Vogue would come out with patterns for these lounge clothes….NOT! The parachute dress is strangely attractive.

Sorry, got distracted. Most of this collection looks like someone who does not know how to sew just grabbed a few bedsheets and draped and tied them about the models. I do sort of like the colors in the second pic. Let me have those sheets and I’ll make something out of them.

Wow, some things I could make myself, at age ten even! Now, I happen to like the sailor look and I will admit, I WISH I could do billowy, but not this particular billowy collection. Having said that though, if they gave me any of those garments I’d take them. The fabrics are obviously mostly in tact and can be used again! Maybe that’s the point. A new collection can be made each year from the old collection, just billow it in a different way!?

They do such a nice job of visually convincing me that these loose billowy styles are a good idea; however I know what happens when I wear stuff like that and frankly, I’ll take those miles of pretty silk and do something else with it, thank YOU! ^__^

Hmmm, there are many aspects of all these outfits that I really love! But, something about the execution and fit is too over the top for being “wearable”.
