La Parisienne Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 February 28, 2013 PARIS By Maya SingerLet's start by stating the obvious: This Olympia Le-Tan collection was more than a little kitsch. How could it not be, with an inspiration like The Sound of Music? There were lederhosen-inspired looks and belts that said "Schnitzel with Noodles," a callout to a line in the song "My Favorite Things." So, yes, Le-Tan was in a typically whimsical mood this season, and bless her for that. The interesting news here, meanwhile, was the fact that this collection was not all that silly. A woman would not have to possess a well-defined sense of irony to like, and wear, Le-Tan's sharply cut loden coats with embroidered buttons, or her flattering full skirts made from sensuous French jersey. Elsewhere, a Peter Pan-collar dress in a print designed by Le-Tan's father, Pierre Le-Tan, did err on the side of the twee, which was the nature of its charm; likewise, her nipped-waist cardigans were irresistibly sweet. Even the lederhosen-inspired looks were remarkably convincing: A velvet romper, for instance, didn't come off costumey and seemed like perfectly viable partywear for a moderately nervy hipster. (A pair of leather shorts with suspenders and a heart cutout over the bum, meanwhile, would require a more than moderate level of nerviness.) On the whole, this collection was more convincingly realistic than it should have been. It got to you, like that ridiculous movie about a nun who teaches a bunch of children to sing.Source: style.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Parisienne Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 You're welcome. This collection really caught my eye. That's why I posted it despite the fact Olympia Le-Tan is not the most famous fashion designer in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
