Apparently it's tribute season again; didn't the last one just finish? The first release was none other than Saint Laurent. My review of the collection will be short and snappy. I have conflicting views on the items available, they seem more haute couture than my preferred ready-to-wear runway style. Maybe I'm too oldschool for Stardoll nowadays. Some of the items are quite nice, even though they are styled in quite eccentric fashions. I particularly like the blouse (look 2), it's puffed sleeves and glittery detailing give off a bohemian vibe; I like it. I also quite like the corset top (look 1), I think it's quite on-trend, and is great for layering, as I have done with my styling. I cam't say that I'd wear this top without an item underneath, but that just comes down to personal preference! The tassel detail is prevalent on other items in the collection - such as the strappy feather heels (look 2), shorts, and the mens' top. The glittery bodysuit (look 3) is also nice, although sheer, you could wear something underneath to hide the tacky Stardoll bra. The bodysuit wasn't hard to style, although initially hesitant, I found it quite suitable for a variety of bottoms. Now, let me just address what I think are the more 'questionable' items in the collection, again, completely determined by personal liking or disliking. The shaggy boots: I really get Snooki from Jersey Shore images in my head when I see this, I just can't see me successfully pairing these with the stuff in my closet, The white feather dress, purple puff top, and black leather dress, all on floor 2 - what are these. I've seen one doll wearing the purple top, and it didn't look too bad, but I just cannot get on board. The black leather dress, a bit too daring for me, maybe too couture looking, who knows. Controversial to have these opinions I know, because lots of dolls actually loved this release, I, on the other hand, would prefer to have something that we haven't had for the past five years. Stardoll, introduce a new tribute: Balenciaga, Victoria Beckham, Alexander Wang, Givenchy, Coach, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu - ANYTHING different (although, don't get rid of Gucci or Fendi, they were really good last time, I think Chanel can go however...). What did you think of the release? Any guesses for the next tribute?
