Okay, lets address the GIANT neon elephant in the room... this collection. KENZO is collaborating with H&M and I get it, the loud hip hop fashion is, in some deranged peoples minds, #trending... but come on now.
This literally looks like a child got a hold of neon markers in their house and decided to draw all over the walls until their parents got home. It's some sick mix of a neon jungle and the circus and its just TOO much. I get it, we want to try to change up the typical seasonal choices...
And they were trying to be groundbreaking because they were scared Miranda Priestly would purse her lips or I don't know say something about fall fashion similar to...
...but clearly they went a little overboard. If you thought Halloween was over, we must have been wrong because you still have a chance with this collection to pull off a Sia (tiger themed) bow or even have the chance to dress just like a modern day Oscar the Grouch... how trendy...
Fine, I will give it to them that some of these pieces are tolerable if you were to use them as separates with basic colors that don't scream TAKE ME HOME I'M DRUNK... on a safari. The first piece in the pictures below is actually beautiful, but is it season appropriate? I don't know, just because a high fashion designer decides to collaborate with you, doesn't mean it will always work (*cough* Versace *cough*)
But come on when is TOO MUCH!? I think we have finally hit the point where hopefully mixed fabrics, bright colors and taking the bad parts of 90's fashion will finally start reversing back. In fashion they always say people take it to the extremes and then once its gone too far it starts the cycle over. Please GOD let this cycle be over NOW! I am so tired of people thinking over the top is so cool and trendy. What ever happened to looking chic AF? But to KENZO and H&M...
