Video: Chris March collection at Fashion Week



Collection is most like: Bob Mackie (he’s a costume designer after all) with a touch of Vivienne Tam’s graphic drama. The collection was more sophisticated than we expected, but kitschy and a little scary too.

What was very good: A swanky blue halter with a silkscreened image. A satin and velvet ruby gown accessorized with a cross brooch and a black crushed velvet gown with a massive and beautiful knit scarf.

What was very bad: One scary Goth crushed velvet gown and oy vay the hair trim on many pieces. We’re not talking a smattering of goat hair – this was full out fright wigs dangling in all the wrong places. Even more shockingly horrid than the black version, was the brown. “I like to wear my hair on my head,” said “Housewives of New York” star Countess Louanne Delessepes.

I personally am into the whole goth thing, and think that the collection was absolutally amazing. I really loved the little red dress, and I actually thought that the hair was great. People sew it onto their heads, why not onto their clothes?

I loved chris's collection! The of hair was meant to make you think. We put "cow skin" on all the time. No one skin crawls when leather is used. Nice job Chris making people think about what norms should be in fashion.
