First of all, sorry (again) for my lack of posts. School has been crazy and I've been sick and I also happen to have friends (believe it or not!) so really, it's just a huge balancing act as is everything else. Anyways, as you know from my whole spiel in my last post, which I know seems like ages ago now, I held off slightly on the fashion month madness for reasons previously explained. AKA, I'm too lazy to re-write them so you can go look if you want. However, I do think that one thing deserves attention, that is the hype surrounding the Isabel Marant show, which happened today. To start off, the background information is that I love Isabel Marant and the things she has previously done in seasons past (tie dye denim, patchwork, color-block windbreakers...) In fact, I would go so far as to say that she is one of my top 10 favorite designers, purely because of the wearability of her garments and the easy-going aesthetic she constantly maintains. So, there was no reason not to believe that this season would produce the same, right? Right, but it turns out, I'm kind of wrong. The collection was lovely, yet I'm not wowed. I guess there is a limit to the amount of folkloric fashion I can handle. Marant continues to do what she does best, but is it to the point where she is starting to deliver the same thing season after season? Everyone, including me of course, was extremely hyped for the Marant show, so maybe that adds to the let down. But what do y'all think? Am I being too harsh? Or are you as equally unsurprised as I am?
