We won't necessarily label Agyness Deyn's Barneys capsule as good, but we won't necessarily label it as bad either. For some odd reason, we feel as if we seen this all before. Was it at Uniqlo? Or, was it Club Monoco?
Either way, Agyness' I Am By Agyness Deyn for Barney's Green capsule was launched s exclusively for the Kobe, Japan store opening - in addition to the 20th anniversary of its Shinjuku store. Out of the 17 piece bevy, we only liked four of them. Perhaps others will be more receptive to the spring-like tanks, scarves, minis and breeze-through dresses., though we wouldn't think it a very wise choice if you're accustomed to go underwearless. Follow our do's and don'ts, likes and dislikes, of the collection:
- Do as a model does: secretly test your design skills with an alternate market way far over yonder before launching a full collaboration to walk a Bryant Park runway. Erin Wasson, who?
- Don't create t-shirt mini's for yourself - as a runway model - whilst selling to an Asian market. The height difference might be an issue.
- Do have qualities of your personal celebrity style when launching a "fan capsule." Thus, we are certain that we'll appreciate the bevy more once we see the items layered in typical Agyness fashion.
- Don't go completely green on your fanbase, as they haven't heard the words "green" and "eco" roll off your lips since your starlet image was launched.
All in all, we love Agyness Deyn, and wish the collection the best. If you are seeking to purchase from the label, a trip to Japan will do if you are too pretentious for Ebay.
