This was the review that I felt least qualified to evaluate because I'm not sure what Michael really wanted to accomplish and, to be fair, it may not be to my taste. But at least I try to make that clear. And some of this is just for fun anyway. Good points about the size 6 model (and that model is considerably smaller than Marilyn Monroe!). I do appreciate the comment about the orange dress and the model's skin tone. Indeed there are very few women who can wear that color (on this continent) and it is so beautiful when you do see it. I still don't like the outfit but you point is well taken: what do I know from flash? Keep in mind : I really did know a thing or two about what Jeffrey was trying to do and I raked that boy over the coals!!!kora in hellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726109864699114854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33830610.post-51735293933726692812006-11-13T12:54:00.000-08:002006-11-13T12:54:00.000-08:00I thought the orange shiny dress looked fabulous o...I thought the orange shiny dress looked fabulous on the model with the gorgeous black skin. She was PMFG. Only problem. How many woman have such gorgeous black skin.<br /><br />The long white dress with strings and belt is actually quite nice, as well as the white shorts outfit.<br /><br />Michael's collection was just too flash for the ladies of PR. They might trash Elie Saab's gold show as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33830610.post-48480333114065595112006-11-13T11:16:00.000-08:002006-11-13T11:16:00.000-08:00Great blog!

She is definitely a plus-size model and that dress is designed for a normal model shape.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571094204138002317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33830610.post-30778440901681251652006-11-10T18:50:00.000-08:002006-11-10T18:50:00.000-08:00i love the idea of looking to earlier influences f...i love the idea of looking to earlier influences for his muse, but what i thought i was seeing in his collection (and not previously, oddly) was that same quasi-power that happened/happens in women's movements, it seems.<br /><br />a woman's power is not defined by how hot she is. okay, maybe to a guy, but, i mean, getting guys to do things for you is different from having the strength and knowledge and will and bravery to get yourself in a place where you do it yourself.<br /><br />after the first big waves of feminism, women "claimed" their sexuality, which often meant they started looking and acting like their guys had wanted all along. <br /><br />and just do michael did with his collection. you're right, he's just too young to understand that hooker-like displays have really nothing to do with powerful women, unless it's just power over him he's referring to.lotusgreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04393867916489599891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33830610.post-72172672739792769522006-11-10T07:30:00.000-08:002006-11-10T07:30:00.000-08:00Thanks for such thoughtful and well-informed revie...Thanks for such thoughtful and well-informed reviews of the runway colelctions.

I hadn't even noticed that he had so many PMFG necklines. Once you mentioned it, it became so obvious!Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16233441256489280492noreply@blogger.com
