As i said in the last post, looking at the new LE collection as a whole there is nothing left to say but "iiiiuh". however as you're going to see below i bought not just a few pieces which would be normal concidering the "iiiuh" conclusion. so the question i asked myself was why am i buying that much if everybody hates this collection (and ignore the possibilty that i totally lost my taste and style). my answer to this is: i think SD did a really bad job in presenting this collection. the way the clothes are combined and presented at the models is a very unfortunate mixture so if you really wanne see how a single piece of this collection works you should put it on your medoll, look carefully at it and think about what kind of clothes from you medolls wardrobe would fit nicely to this particular LE garment.
before i go on here is what bought.
as you can see i bought alot (shame on me) and i would call all those items extreamly wearable and also easy to combine with most of the clothes from my medolls wardrobe. that's why i don't really understand all this negative response. i have to admit putting the LE logo right infront of a beautiful dress isn't the best thing to do and most of the shoes are very ugly (unless you're going for a prostitute look ...) but on the other hand we have lots of nice jewelry and the graphics are getting better with every collection, espacialy the pleather items which are actually looking like pleather and not like sprayed plastic or rubber.
i think it's nearly impossible for SD to come up with a LE collection everybody likes. so i wouldn't say this one is worse than the one before but it's not better ether. the only thing which really annoyed me was the short period of time between this collection and the last one. LE isn't longer LE if SD releases a new collection every two months.
REAL LIFE VERSIONS

comparing to the last LE collection finding out from which real life fashion this collection was inspired was rather easy. SD turned to a very common and large fashion house: VERSACE. this years spring/summer ready to wear collection was used as a blueprint for the newest SD LE collection. i'm not a very big VERSACE fan myself but i can't deny DONATELLA's brilliancy. if you're interested feel free to check out all the real life versions of the things i bought down below.
