KENLEY IS THE MARK MILLAR OF FASHION. She critiques (as much by her persona as by her designs) in a way that really should be interesting, and which other people have made interesting, and yet her own work just comes off as ridiculously “I’m fifteen and so edgy.” (I haven’t seen her design for tonight, though–this is based on previous weeks plus Bryant Park.) The critique is so desperately needed that even a bad version can briefly seem refreshing… but it sours quickly.
Sorry, CSB. I wasn’t expecting to say this, but after spoiling myself for the Bryant Park collections at Project Rungay… Korto’s the only one I really love.
