DOWN THE CRAPPER: ESCADA

German brand Escada is going, going gone. After 31 years in business they’ve decided to close shop after failing to pony up 200 million Euros from investors.
Quite frankly I think everything went wrong when they stopped doing what they excelled at: Eurotrash.
If you do an E-bay search you’ll chance upon some truly horrendous pieces from the 80’s. And when I say horrendous I clearly mean A-MA-ZING. In my opinion they practically invented the jewelled/sequined angora sweater.
They really should’ve dug into their extensive archive and brought out some of their best-sellers from the 80’s or reinterpret them. They would’ve given Balmain a run for their money for trashy, sparkly, overpriced shit.
