My Mother always hated when I’d dress up but wear my ratty casual coat with it. I believe I made this face at her when she’d mention it:
This is how I’d like a Miss Jane Marple reboot to look:
Well, for all of you that wondered if you could pleat fruit leather. You can. But don’t.
What is this? Leather? Godiva truffle liner? Does it affect her cell phone reception? Can I have a truffle?
I’m worried that 45 other people came out in this outfit and it turned into a depressing flashmob.
You know you can’t say Whyred without saying ‘WHY???’

There’s something of the air of ‘I don’t know why the popular girls won’t be chums with me’ about this collection. I know, its a statement for introverted rebellion. Makes sense now.

Introverted and pleated rebellion!

The flashmob dress reminds me of flag girls back when cheerleaders ruled the school and you could only be a cheerleader if you were in the “cool girls” group.The first model might have been born a man before discovering the runway. The last model thinks looking like a duvet/comforter is a good look.

I’d like to see the first one without the puffy vest. It might be nice. I like the color anyway. The rest… yeah, these girls are not sitting at the popular table.

It should be, Whytry. The little color blocked dress is cute, minus the white stockings. I can even go with the white shirt, but not the stockings. But then, maybe I’m showing my age…after all, I did use the word stockings 😉

It’s all a little jumbled- like he spent so much time pleating that he forgot to plan!

Okay, those first two have potential. It’s a shame the first suit is covered up by the random puffy vest (why do designers do crap like that?) because the color and cut look fairly classy. The second is way too baggy, but I like the extra long jacket and the collegiate look. The rest…nah. And that purple and black color block number doesn’t look like it belongs in the same collection.

‘Puffy’ is a term I refuse to consider fashionable!

Sadly they went just a bit to far with most of them and a lot too far with the truffle dress and the puffy outfit. I agree with the look on the models face – she was definitely told not to wear that!

I kind of like the Miss Marple update – the rest, not so much. I was going to ring you but just got static – have you bought the truffle outfit Anne?

I love this collection! May be on my own here comparing to other commenters but I really like the muted colour pallette and how the clothes are ‘fancy’ but really practical. You could wear these to work, dinner, class. They are funky but I wouldn’t feel like I was trying to relive my youth in them, they’re still quite classic. (OK not the last, head to toe gold lamé getup, but the rest!)

I *really* like the first two: I’m mentally creating a work wardrobe based around them. I’ve got the ankle boots already so I’m practically there, right?!

I wish they would STOP trying to bring back the blasted 80’s. That wool ensemble is horrid and looks itchy as hell. I quite like the little black pleated thing, but the bin liner jacket and skirt, WHY?

I want Ms. Marple’s coat! I’d even be willing to move to St. Mary Mead to get it. But being on the church flower arranging rota is out. There are some things I just won’t do. (You KNOW in the re-boot she’ll be Ms. Marple!)

Fruit leather never made it to the UK….it is flattened dried fruit syrup that is rolled up and used as a snack food. Unrolled, it looks like leather.
