Theme: I Dream of Jeannie meets 80's PowerSuit -Effect with a Sprinkle of Urban CoolIt's quite hard to take a socialite seriously when she says she wants to be a serious designer.
In the beginning, Jasmine Al Fayed didn't portray anything original nor significant in her collections.
One after the other, each one seemed to be a string of of the same cocktail dress in a different colour and every evening gown in a different styled frill or sequin. She was designing for herself, her sister and all her other socialite/heiress friends - so they would have something nice to wear while sunbathing in St Tropez or partying by Lake Como.
Until this season.
Though hardly walking along the ranks of (my heroes) John Galliano or Karl Lagerfeld, Jasmine exhibited a range of clothing - extending from masculine blazers paired with satin shirts and bermuda-style shorts, to knitted dresses with dangling fringe.
A combination of a dark orange and navy were the basics, though black, white and red did make a few vital appearances.
Overall: totally hip. This was a little more New York/cool Hamptons rather than Monaco/predictable St Tropez. There were even delicate hints of Glam Rock in there.
NOTES:
- ANYONE who makes MC Hammer pants look this cool and sexy deserves an A+
- Though slightly distracting, loved the hair and shades.
Rock on.
