THE MISSES:
Coach
“They’re trying really hard to make Coach cool and edgy, aren’t they? I wish they’d spend a little more time trying to make it good and worthwhile. This looks like a mashup of things that we’ve seen before (Rodarte anyone?) and things that I would never care to see again.” [Steddycam91]
“This is bad news on every level… just grasping out at trends and top sellers and edgy designers… trying to find a way but completely lacking in direction… I don’t know who the designer is anymore… but he really lacks power and vision… I mean…some of it is worse than student work… take those sweaters and jackets with the random patches… wtf?!? There is NO excuse for crap like that on the runway of COACH… travesty!” [softgrey]
“Bulk everywhere…no sleekness.” [Not Plain Jane]

Kanye West x Adidas Originals
“I’m gonna forget that this is a fashion show and just see it as a PR performance art piece to promote his new single. I will always commend and defend Kanye to the high heavens as a musical artist… but I will never stop rolling my eyes and cringing whenever he talks about himself as a designer. Sonically Kanye is an absolute visionary, but fashion-wise he is the world’s most pretentious poser.” [Steddycam91]
“This joke is not funny.” [Koibito]
“I think he needs to respect artistry and give his job to a real designer.” [Marc10]

Alexander Wang
“I think this is for me personally the worst Alexander Wang collection in years… Some of the tailored pieces were quite nice BUT were ruined by the horrific styling. And those shoes should never have seen daylight…” [orthelian]
“Rarely have platform combat boots, leather, chains, a severely black color palette and a general angry/punkish attitude felt so… limp.” [Steddycam91]
“I honestly don’t remember anything from this collection, the only thing I focused on was how ridiculous the shoes are.” [mackos]
