Bloodflowers

Lacroix Couture SS07. Insane, floral, over the top, frilly, technicolored, etc. Some of it I liked in a sunshine-and-flowers, let's-have-a-LSD-laced-picnic sort of way, and some of it made me gag, thinking, "Why the fuck is Hana wearing a bath mat from an elderly woman in Oklahoma's apartment as a jacket?"
Maybe it's my cough syrup-addled mind, but this one is hard to call. I'll give it a thumbs up, just because I'm feeling woozy, and I liked most of the dresses towards the end of the show.
I like:
I'm not a fan of polka dots in general, but this manages to be cute and flirty without going into overly wholesome territory.

It's insane and overly sweet, and I'd only wear it to the aformentioned LSD picnic, or possibly a photoshoot for something in V, but there's something that I like about it.

Pretty, gauzy, flowy sunshine.

High drama, like what the sexy evil witch in an early 20th century childrens book would wear.



I do not like:
Frills can be fun, but when they make Tatiana Usova look like a brick house (she's mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang ouuut), it's just not good.

Um, no words.

Tacky print, and I just want to rip the flower off her throat.

Again we have a problem with something being unflattering. Corsets are supposed to suck everything in, and if this one actually worked, I'd like the dress in a Moulin Rouge on acid kind of way. Alas, the fit is terrible and it ruins the outfit.
