Each new collection of clothes and shoes is a balancing act between new techniques and complete absurdity. Even the most famous designers, famous actresses and singers who decided to try themselves as a couturier, are not immune from a complete fiasco. As a rule, we are colorfully described the most successful shows, but about obvious blunders try to keep silent.
Too much good is also bad
A collection can be considered a failure in several cases. Sometimes this is an obvious search with originality and things in ordinary life do not dare to put on even the most extravagant natures. There are also completely faceless and fresh shows, when from the well-known brands expected a little more: both clothes are interesting, and everything is in a trend, but something is missing.
- In 2012, the famous Galliano changed his principles and presented a collection completely unlike his previous creations. Muted shades, ruffles and flared skirts look very feminine and romantic, but the peculiarity of the designer's hand is not obvious. On a commercial level, the collection will definitely be successful, but it did not arouse enthusiasm among fashionable critics and connoisseurs.
- Virtually all the shows from Dior always stood out with an abundance of accessories, unusual ornaments. Feminine and stylish additions often played a major role in the image and were self-sufficient. And at the Spring-Summer 2012 show, the collection was in the style of Dior, but for some unknown reasons it was the main trump card in the form of accessories that was ignored. By the way, shoes from this show, too, did not cause enthusiasm among critics, and fashionista she seemed frankly uncomfortable.
- Not only high fashion can please and upset with their exploits. For example, the world-famous brand H & M also sometimes experiences ups and downs. In 2005, together with Stella McArtney, the collection turned out to be quite simple and even fresh. Especially in view of the fact that her joint work with Karl Lagerfeld was briefly presented. The disappointment was the work with Jimmy Choo. But the joint collection with Maison Martin Margiela has turned out to be very stylish, but because of the too high price even to this day it is not completely sold out.
- The joint collaboration of the famous fashion catalog Topshop and the famous Kate Moss proved to be a failure in all senses. Stormy enthusiasm for the work did not cause either fashion critics or fans. The fact is that all things are at least quite stylish and sustained in the fashion trends of the time (beads, embroidery and sequins), but none of them was particularly memorable and everything appeared in the general gray mass.
- As for the most "fresh" failures, the fashion house Dior again distinguished itself here. At the show autumn-winter 2013-14 the work of Rafa Simons completely disappointed the audience and fans of the famous fashion house. Today, this fashion show turned avant-garde and minimalist, and a woman in the style of Dior - quite ordinary and simple.
Not with clothes of one
Separately, I want to dwell a little on the shoe theme. It is with shoes that designers and fashion houses try to experiment most often. Sometimes the result is not just amazing, such specimens can be safely put on the shelves of the museum, but they will be difficult to wear.
One of the vivid examples of a pair of shoes from Christian Louboutin. The famous hairpin and red sole can look ridiculous and funny, if the upper part is decorated with plastic eyes for soft toys. By the way, the price of such a pleasure is about $ 1500!
Some models can generally be worn as a supplement to the carnival costume. Prada created in general something out of cosplay costume. In such shoes, you can safely hold photosessions in the style of anime. The highest platform and shiny straps look like a doll. So not always a big name can become immune from failure.
