A few seasons ago it was all about Gucci and YSL, from the Tom Ford era.<br />Jason Wu mad the most naif collection about CHINA a designer could do. TOO obvious. Is that how he looks at his roots?<br />Best regardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-83390124310053924552012-02-27T19:01:32.171-05:002012-02-27T19:01:32.171-05:00So my observations of Joseph Altuzzara's colle...So my observations of Joseph Altuzzara's collection being a Gucci rip off is correct.<br />Joseph Altuzzara has NO formal fashion training ie he did not go to fashion design school. He "worked" for Marc Jacobs and Givenchy... AS WHAT??<br />His collection looks like a very seasoned designer's collections ie 20+ years in the fashion business.<br />Yet he won the fashion fund. I doubt he even knows the names of the fabric that went into his collection. <br /><br />Smoke and mirrors... <br /><br /><br /> Youtubers are up in arms about it!!<br /><br />It is a good thing I am posting anonymously.. LOL I don't want to be skewered by the fashion press or anyone else. <br /><br />Vogue wants to sell their magazines and micro manage (rape?) their designer puppets for couple of years by threats. Anna Wintour and her staff tell them what to show, who to copy and who to be seen with, then it on to the next "designer".<br /><br />The fashion biz itself is a joke...<br />Diane Von Furstenberg, Carolina Herrera, Tahari, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren are not designers, they are manufacturers who pose as designers. Most of them do not even set foot into their own design studios, they have unknown head designers working for them. The designers working under those people are very often over worked (60 hrs+ per week), 80 hours per week during fashion week and underpaid. <br />Let us not talk about behind the scenes in the fashion studios.... it is a whole new dog eat dog underworld...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-19562486166322603012012-02-26T16:57:15.546-05:002012-02-26T16:57:15.546-05:00Would the "seasoned designer" be Michael...Would the "seasoned designer" be Michael Kors? <br />All this hype for these young designers. Some of these shows look like they were purchased at retail in some other country and shown here at NYFW. There is nothing unique from these "designers" that can make these clothes theirs. No signature look. Prabal looks like Givenchy, Dior or Chanel depending on his collection. Joseph Altuzzara last collection looked like someone took a scissors to some Gucci dresses. His current collection looks like Ralph Lauren.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-80149380923306685792012-02-24T20:21:25.217-05:002012-02-24T20:21:25.217-05:00What do you think of Sally LaPointe?
