What is the deal with EVERYONE thinking that they are capable of designing a fashionable, stylish, and en pointe clothing line!? It started with the “singers” of the world – Jessica Simpson, JLo, The Duff Girls, etc… Then, the celebutantes stepped up to the plate with Paris designing (ugly) shoes, Nicky Hilton doing a full line (hideous), Nicole Ritchie with (cool) jewelry, and Lindsay Lohen with her line of leggings. So, now who’s left? Why the
reality TV stars of course who think that their ranting, backstabbing, and drama filled lives make them acceptable fashion designers. Who am I speaking of? My favorite gals on the Real Housewives of Atlanta of course. For those of you who haven’t tuned in this season, the lovely Lisa has added designer to her resume and just organized her first show a couple of weeks ago. My opinion? The collection was BEYOND awful. The color selection was all off, the excessive ruffs, ruching, and fabric were all
unattractive, not to mention, unflattering, the hems weren’t finished, and bottom line? Everything looked completely cheap and dated. While I realize Lisa is trying to keep her line reasonably priced, the present price point she is offering is entirely too high for the low quality products she has on the market. While I like Lisa on the show, I must admit her sense of style is a bit off. I can’t honestly say that I am ever envious of her ensembles BUT, I would mind borrowing one of her oversized designer handbags.
One other side note… It doesn’t take a fashion show first row’er to know that a runway should be void of furniture or other in-the-way decor. Lisa exemplified her unsophisticated eye yet again when she cluttered the “stage” with couches, chairs, and tables. The point of a fashion show people is to SHOW THE FASHIONS, not get a sneak peek of the latest in home furnishings.
Hopefully Sheree will get her butt in gear this season and show us what she’s made of. I will be tuning in!
