Marchesa - Runway - Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2014
My basic reaction to a lot of Marchesa pieces is, "Such a pretty idea, but..." and here, I finish it with, "... but this looks like her diaper is sagging."

But that's not even a pretty idea. That's just... Metallic Pee.

But that is quite lovely, so Georgina was cooking with gas for at least PART of the past six months.

Didn't Taylor Momsen basically already do this?

Didn't EVERYBODY basically already do this? Possibly including Marchesa?

I just want to go look at Oscar and Naeem and Packham for a second to cheer me up.

Why is this so shapeless?

Modified, that could be great. Selena Gomez would be all over it. Actually, she might not even modify it.

It's like this is falling apart on her body. And then her knee sneezed.

This reminds me a little of the time Jennifer Lopez let People into her baby nursery, and it was TOTAL ORNATE INSANITY.

The only thing better than polterwang is a tulle-encrusted polterwang.

I like... parts of this? I think other people this season did better versions. Sorry, Georgina. I am not on your wavelength today.

Ditto. (Shortest slide ever!)

However, that skirt is beautiful. Somebody will wear this with just the bra top and not the sheer poncho. And then I might be sad. But the skirt, if you put a proper bodice on it, could be breathtaking.

There's a lot of really gorgeous detail work here, although they don't really jibe.

This is, like, the most fetching plastic sheeting you can find at the hardware store. It's totally the Marchesa for Home Depot collection.

SURELY walking in that skirt is incredibly irritating.

She looks like she wandered out of a brothel after the apocalypse.

Is this the best one?

THIS certainly isn't.

This is actually a lot of strong work, again, and could be very pretty on somebody. I just... Marchesa is an acquired taste, like scotch, that I may just not particularly want to acquire. But if someone made scotch that tasted like Diet Coke, I would drink it up in a flash. So I guess if Marchesa took their dresses and then made them look like... other things, a bit, then maybe we'd be in business. And that's the faintest praise of all.
