Enough with all this Laura Bennett stuff (for now)! Let's get back to being judgmental (as if we ever left). Our Fairy Godmother showed her Spring 2008 collection and we have opinions.
Lorenzo likes this a little bit more than Tom does. Honeys, whether we like it or not, the seventies are back and we're all just going to have to ride this one out. No one likes a good Rhoda Morgenstern head scarf more than us, but even we are getting tired of seeing so many of them. This whole collection looks like the first 5 minutes of The Love Boat, when all the extras in the background boarded the ship in their late '70s attire while Carol Channing, Gabe Kaplan and Charo traded quips with Gavin MacLeod.
Those sherbet-y colors are definitely big this season and we welcome them after the last couple seasons of blacks, whites, and metallics. On the other hand, Diane honey, some colors would be better off if they're not seated next to each other. That pink, green and blue caftan in the first picture looks like what our grade school nuns in the '70s called "Eucharistic Banners." We would all be forced to make them in art class out of felt and glitter with cutout shapes of doves and candles and poorly etched phrases like "PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD" and "MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE" scribbled on them like ransom notes.
Oh! And another thing. Caftans? Really? Are we all going to have to watch a bunch of Mrs. Ropers wander the streets for the next couple of seasons? That, we can do without.
On the other, other hand, there are some beautiful prints in this collection and once you get away from the big, blousy caftans, some of those silhouettes are smart and flattering.
Take it all in and tell us what you think, darlings.
