Willow Takes New York






Placing the fact that she had her second baby only three months ago aside, this is a collection vastly differing from the one she sent out to great applause and praise last season. It went back to basics, but not necessarily her basics, and that's the only thing that was wrong with it. It could have been anybody's range, I was thinking it looked heavily influenced by Camilla and Marc and Zimmermann, two other successful Australian brands.
There wasn't her signature fun texture, like fringing from last season or top stitching in ranges gone by. Only a repeated horsehair print and some biker leather. It was also statically shot rather than paraded on a catwalk, so there were no big names, no reasons to generate buzz and sadly, no movement in an example of the clothes. It was all very 2D. Better luck next time.
