Pringle Of Scotland

Girlfriend looks like Pocahontas tried to give her a makeover before she got mauled by a bear.


And these shoes!!! What the actual fuck do you think you're doing? I'm getting a bad Project Runway furnished by Piperlime vibe. And check out the creepy pinky toe trying to make a hasty exit. That pinky is all I left Payless for this?

Pringle are supposed to be known for their knits so it's like, stick with it and do the best fucking knits you can. Look at Missoni. They do knits and they milk it for all they've got and they're doing their best work in years. You don't see them pulling some monochromatic Topshop interpretation of Balenciaga. It's just so severe and off-trend.
It's good when you see a designer going in a completely different direction to their peers and winning people over but this is just so awfully misguided and lord love a duck we've been here before, people want to move forward not mooch about in 2001 wearing sports-mesh kilts. Are we going to do some ecstasy now? Can I play my Sonique CD?

MINI PRE-FALL ROUNDUP PART ONE

It's nice to see designers taking pre-fall more seriously rather than just churn out watered down filler. I think I read somewhere that resort and pre-fall sells really well so maybe that's where the enthusiasm is coming from for designers.
So far I haven't seen any knock-out collections but each one has had some seriously covetable pieces. Thakoon is doing an oddly chic looking pant that's quite boxy at the top. Unlikely to be flattering on most women but beautiful all the same.

Pringle of Scotland have the best coats hands-down. Donna Karan did a gorgeous military skirt suit that will just melt around your figure. It's such a non-aggressive look for military inspired clothes. Jason Wu has some beautifully molded jackets, belted and paired with pleated skirts and wooly tights. It's good to see him do something youthful and more playful while maintaing that Fifth Avenue tag he has. Above: Donna Karan. Below: Jason Wu

Currently I'm completely freaky for Celine and Phoebe Philo can do no wrong. Her work is so refreshing and sweet without being frothy. Crisp crease-front high-waisted pants make a return this time in olive and there was also a trim pair of red pants cut just on the ankle. Coats were strong, a sporty black japara and a long black one in what looked like felted wool was trimmed in licorice leather.
