First collection of the week with a point of view, and something new to contribute... Marc said that he didn't want girls all wearing black and studs, and that they should be themselves instead, bla bla bla... Cliches aside, I thought this was a cool collection with a less literal definition of the meaning of cool. With the scarves balled around the neck, ballerina buns, kooky layering, and overall slouchy Comme Des Garcons feel, it's a different kind of confident woman which I always appreciate as I feel I can identify with her more than with the Balmain "rebels." This season's rebel is so much more interesting, and doesn't need shoulder pads or spikes to show that she's tough... Taking your boyfriend's button down, sticking a frothy Erin Fetherston-like number over it and topping it with a fringed bag is a lot more edgy in my opinion than wearing the same tired bleached jeans and combat boots...
