I'm gonna begin by saying that usually, i'm an Anastase super-fan. Yep, means that this collection left me a little, well, unconvinced.The Parisian designer cited his influence for A/W 2010/11 as 'Winter Garden' and it features an array of contrasting colours and fabrics mixed together in the typical Anastase playground style. however his latest collection didn't quite live up to my expectations. It's intriguing and imaginative but whilst some pieces are wearable, others just make me go "Oh, Charles! Really? Reeeeeeally? Why?"
The collection features some huge, blanket-style coats, which completely envelop the wearer, they look guaranteed to keep you warm, even in the harsh British weather we've been dealing with recently, which is une grande bonus, there's also an abundance of high-waisted flared trousers, providing an elongated silhouette, which is also added to by the long, clingy dresses. There's a lot of layering (a little too much layering, one may say...) and the majority of the clothing seems to be baggy and shapeless.
The collection overall is still the whimsical, storybook style that Anastase does so well, but it's just not my cup of tea.
What does everyone else think?
Bright blue clingy dress with contrasting red felted wool coat. I actually really like the coat. And the shoes. What's with the neck/headgear though, seriously?
The chiffon cape features cute little red envelope shapes, i think they might be little pockets. How sweet!?
Uh-oh... Little Bow Peep has lost her sheep and dresses up like one in order to find them...
Too.Much.Layering. I don't know where to look, there's just so much going on!
Another look reminiscent of farmyard animals?
The print alone is bad enough. The print on the jacket AND trousers? Horrendous.
I don't even know where to start with this one. Too many ruffles and the jacket is giving it a bad silhouette. Like, a really bad silhouette.
The poor girl just looks like she's drowning in this. Never a good look! :(photos via style.com
