Kenzo Spring 2010 RTW.

Abbey Lee (NEXT)

Antonio Marras is one of fashion's congenital romantics, given to grand gestures that stir the emotions.

Yulia Kharlaponova (WOMEN)

The backdrop for his latest collection for Kenzo was a huge golden disc—the sun hanging heavy over the Sahara.

Eniko Mihalik (ELITE)

At the finale, it literally exploded in a shower of gold filaments that rained down on the catwalk while models walked in juicily shaded chiffons—aqua, peach, hot pink—with heads wrapped like nomad princesses.

Magdalena Frackowiak (ELITE)

It was a spectacular conclusion to a show that took as its starting point the Middle Eastern excursions of the early twentieth-century English adventuress Freya Stark, then stirred in a little of Bertolucci's film The Sheltering Sky.

Alla Kostromicheva (WOMEN)

So there was a Europe-meets-ethnic vibe to the clothes, which was so perfectly in tune with the ethos of the house that it underlined how appropriate a choice Marras was for this job.

Anna Selezneva (SILENT)

You could pair the striped drop-crotch pants with the madras trench and you'd have a consummate update of the Kenzo code.

Elena Melnik (SILENT)

The designer's own inclinations toward a darkish glamour were evident in the floral print he matched with a man-tailored jacket in black lamé, or a draped dress trailing threads of old gold Lurex.

Keke Lindgard (ELITE)

His theme of the desert explorer also inspired much easier pieces: big shirts cinched with wide belts, army shorts belted with rope, a natural linen shirtdress.

Shena Moulton (ELITE)

The sheer shift with a sequined camo pattern might be a stretch for the Sahara, but it artfully elevated this season's military mood.

Emanuel Ungaro Spring 2010 RTW.

Yulia Lobova (MAJOR)

The wall of cameras at the end of the runway was double the size it was last season, and there was an impressive turnout of industry professionals and curious onlookers at Ungaro today.

Siri Tollerød (MARILYN)

In a bid for easy headlines, CEO Mounir Moufarrige recently replaced Esteban Cortazar with an unusual team: the little-known Spanish designer Estrella Archs and, as "artistic adviser," the actress turned self-bronzer entrepreneur Lindsay Lohan.

Thana Kuhnen (NATHALIE)

Would the move turn out to be a bit of counterintuitive brilliance—the Olsens, after all, have had a bona fide hit with The Row—or would the results be as embarrassing as a streaky orange fake tan?

Katie Fogarty (NEXT)

In separate interviews a couple of days before the show, Archs discussed reviving the DNA and Lohan mentioned injecting a bit of youth into the brand—not necessarily mutually exclusive notions for a label that was beloved by eighties party girls.

Kinga Rajzak (IMG)

The show opened on an up note, with a strapless fuchsia plissé minidress—two Ungaro signatures rolled into one—and Archs turned the house's polka dots into a charming enough heart print on colorful sequined jackets. So far, not so bad…but it wasn't destined to last.

Egle Tvirbutaite (NEXT)

This quickly devolved into a bad joke of a fashion show, one with questionable color combinations, "bad eighties" draped silk jackets and drop-crotch pants, old-fashioned and ill-judged fur stoles, and, yes, tasteless sequin pasties.

Tati Cotliar (NEXT)

To top it off, the fabrics and the construction lacked the finesse you expect from a famous Avenue Montaigne brand.

Kinée Diouf (VIVA)

To be fair, Archs had just about a month to design the collection. But both she and Lohan (if she sticks around long enough) will have to work a lot harder next time to impress the editors and buyers who witnessed this disappointing debut.
