MADAM AE.: DINNIGAN SPRING 2010 - FAILED TO IMPRESS THE EUROPE AND AMERICAN FASHION REVIEWS!!!

"HER DESIGNS DIDN'T SEPERATE HER FROM THOSE ON A DEPARTMENT FLOOR STORE"... OUCH! - This was one of many said observed reviews..from fashion reviewer's/ critics worldwide... towards Collette Dinnigan's Spring 2010 collection.

This does resemble a very generic style maxi dress

Apparently the theme was to resemble the story of Alice In Wonderland..... a progression of going through a 'black rabbit' hole and emerging to a colourful spirited and happy destination. Hence Collette's cause for introducing the black ensembles.... and then progressing to the fru fru colour designs.

Not quite sure about this........

Seated on my fashion throne, I could understand why my colleagues of fashion critics made such a comment......towards Ms Dinnigan's latest. This is only justified.. because the expectations placed on a 'high end' designista based in the Parisian city....is to pull out all the creative stops ever possibly imagined!!!

Therefore.... Ms Dinnigan placed in the Parisian city....high end label..... is expected to take the French breaths away,..... and once the French are impressed .... then the world over shall be too! . xo.

PARIS. FRENCH = COUTURE... the birth place.

If I was critiqueing Ms Dinnigan simply from a local critiqueing point of view... with hardly much expectation.. then I would say.. the creations are delectable. A bit drab and boring with the black numbers.... but the colour offerings towards the end... are delightful!

This tiered ruffle layered creation is suffice

The days' of Ms Dinnigan weaving her creative flare..... is slowly disappearing.... but into where exactly????... A muse perhaps? is the solution. Creatives/ designista's even have arististic BLOCK syndrome..... where we just fail to provide what is expected. But then who sets the expectations???.... well in this case.... the FRENCH.

The French are renowned for their fierce and ferocious hunger for Fashion!. Like their food palettes... and winery.... only the BEST.GRANDEST.FINEST.THRILLING fashion is passable.... throw in a twist of classy Parisian(ess). So when a designista on their shores... whips up just anything... and presents it on a Parisian Runway............, blasphemy is declared.. .and gasps are heard!.

My critic tongue says....... Ms Dinnigan... if you were showcasing in the local shores of Australia... then I am sure you would received a standing ovation... simply because here you are one of Australia's greatest success stories in the fashion pack. But, unfortunately... you are now judged internationally in the highly competitive high end fashion city of Europe... and to this??... alas..... the verdict has been cast........................ I know there is more that you can offer. xo.
