If she were on Project Runway, it's possible that she would have been booted for these type of errors. I'm sure that Michael Kors and Nina Garcia would have noticed and pointed it out. I am not surprised that she was let go. Valentino's label deserves a lot better.Marty's Little Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008495069826265706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-26284821568518185162008-11-08T10:10:00.000-06:002008-11-08T10:10:00.000-06:00Well, well, well....this "crooked couture" prompts...Well, well, well....this "crooked couture" prompts me to give kudos to all the really fabulous "home-sewing designers" out there...who would never let something this flawed walk out of their sewing rooms!<BR/><BR/>And BTW, please...the both of you, if I ever start doing trunk shows again...do let me know far in advance if you plan to attend, OK?

Btw, the designer per se doesn't sew this stuff up and depending on their level of involvement, may not even dictate the "guts". So...it could be this designer being lower in the pecking order, got a lower level pattern maker (who dictates guts if designer does not) and certainly a lower level sample maker (didn't have the gumption to speak up). Still, in the end, the designer is responsible for the results produced by the team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-10179705747113668222008-11-04T07:27:00.000-06:002008-11-04T07:27:00.000-06:00Kathleen, I just added your photos to the post.Thi...Kathleen, I just added your photos to the post.<BR/><BR/>Thinking about the sleeve embellishment on the blue zipper coat; do you think a lot of the problems with this collection, and especially the weight of the embellishments not being supported is perhaps a factor of her adding things at the last minute? I can see that she might make that kind of change at the last minute when there was no time to redo things with more underpinnings to hold up under the weight, and I can certainly understand seeing a finished garment and thinking that it needs something else. It seems like she may be doing more of her designing right on the almost completed garments than we usually see, though. Probably not the best way to do a collection like this, but if that's her style, I guess that's the way it is.Lianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235950571276425579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-9026569710406289652008-11-04T05:33:00.000-06:002008-11-04T05:33:00.000-06:00Hi Liana, there's photos to go with my comments.
