CHARLES ANASTASE SPRING/SUMMER 2009 COLLECTION: BETTER THAN YOU MUM BY APPROXIMATELY 57%

How much do we love Charles Anastase? LOTS is the answer - just look at his S/S 09 collection (above). We LOVES it. The cuteness and the sexiness. The sheer fabric, which despite seeming a manifestation of S/S08's trend (Jil Sander et al), still looks fresh and has the peekaboo suspenders/stockings thing going on adding edge and a sexy twist. Loving that cropped leather jackets are still gonna be going strong. LOVE the long hair; bobs are bor-ing. In fact the only thing we didn't like was the oversized geek glasses - way too scene-wannabe. Nice glasses are a privilege for those with bad eyesight, kind of like a 'sorry you can't see and got bullied at school for them horrible glasses your mum made you wear' consolation prize. So hands off our consolation prize, we earned it. Anyway apart from that, top marks Charlie.
