Wunderkind Spring 2011

I was originally planning another post when I came across this collection and fell quickly and madly in love with it and wanted to dedicate an entire entry to it!

I've always loved "mish-mash" type outfits, because it's so easy to look like you got into a fight with a confused clown. But when done well, I love the visual stimuli, the geometric and structural complexity, and the apparent knack required to design and style a look to appear as though it was just thrown together and works! Sometimes in  fashion, "less is more" is just not enough, and this collection is truly representational of a contradiction of this statement.

"Though the striking prints of oversize fruits and flowers were inspired by Portugal, Wolfgang Joop’s Wunderkind collection took an unexpectedly edgy turn — with their ample baby-doll dresses, paired with striped tights and sky-high platform boots, his models brought to mind a modern-day Pippi Longstocking, as seen by Tim Burton." -wwd

Loving the fantasy aspects, the colours, the gorgeous striped body stockings, the menswear and the SHOES! What are your thoughts?? Love it or hate it?
