Is it just me or is his fall collection hideous. All of the reviews were saying how "innovative" and "ahead of the times" he is, but all I kept seeing was Mary-Kate and Ashley, Homeless Couture in his show.
Please someone tell me I'm not crazy!

Baglady!! it's good to see you post! OMG-I am so glad you posted this because when I saw the collection I thought the exact same thing you did, but was afraid everyone else would think I was crazy. Well if they do, at least there are 2 of us!

my bf NEEDS this look:
this definitely reminds me of Mary-Kate:

i'm still on the fence about him. he (usually) has a strong vintage influence so it's hard to see where retro ends & marc begins. but with a lot of his clothes when i see them in the stores i think they're really cute. i think they do a lot of editing b/f it hits the stores.
also i think they styling in his shows is over the top. i'm the type of person that focuses more on pieces so when i looked at his show i just ignored the whole outfit and looked for pieces that i like. in his main line i really like the shape of the skirts that he showed. i also loved this outfit
Agreed with honey. His clothes are much cuter when they hit the stores. I love MJ but sometimes I do admit that I hate some of the pieces he showed in the runway.

haha, i keep seeing that MK model around nyc- her name is Mina i think.
anyway, i am ok with this collection only because i like grunge. would i buy his pieces from this collection? no. would i style some of my own pieces in a similar way? maybe. BUT, i think its so annoying that everyone thinks MJ is the ish. if you read style.com, its all about kissing his ass. i think he gets too caught up into the celebrity aspect of designing, but i guess thats fabulous if you're, well, fabulous. but i guess that helps sales. everyone wants to go to his parties. hell, i'd want to go. but i def. think he's not as talented as other designers.
