Do I hear you ask "Why?" No, I don't, but I'll pretend I did. :)
Well, because they have gone a little slack in their design department! Most of their scarf designs are far from original and classy. It seems as if they have put everything together in a hurry just to have it ready by their deadline.
Hmmm... I shouldn't be so harsh, but I think this is because Armine has raised the bar so high for the past couple of years that I expect them to be the same with each new season.
Anyhow, let's go through some of the styles I picked out from their collection...
The scarf... to be honest, not my style at all, but that's just me! However, I absolutely love the collar detail on this full length coat, so it's a must for my shop!
The scarf... Yeah not bad.. Seen better! The mid-calf trench... I actually fell in love with this when I saw it in the factory so I ordered series and series in a variety of colours such a military green, nude, black, navy.. LOL Honestly, this looks hotter in real life. So if you are interested, you may just have the chance to get yours before it sells out! "Where?" you ask? "At edb Collection" I say. (How corny ha?) :)))
Loving the colours on this scarf, but it just looks very similar to previous Armine designs. Therefore I'm not too crash hot on it. The dress? Different... But I don't think I will get it in for the shop. What do you think?
One of my favourites this season...
The only thing I like about this scarf is the colour! The jacket.. Well it should be burning in Australia by the time this jacket is released, so I don't think I will be getting this in.. It's a little thick for the warmer seasons.
The design of this scarf is a classic... Again, similar to previous Armines, but I love it... The red satin dress on the model.. OMG! It's plain but isn't the tone of red so so so OMIGOSH hot? Loving it... Interested? You know where you will be finding it :))
The scarf is a no no, but again, that's me! The dress... It's a full length one, but I don't know if I'm too keen on it. What do you girls think?
My absolute favourite scarf this season. A MUST HAVE for moi! :)) Anybody wanting to get me a gift? LOL This is also a must have for the shop. Anything with anything to do with Istanbul... I gots to have it arright! (some Aussie accent in there) :)
Yup, not so keen on this scarf either, but the full length dress is really sweet. Here's a DIY project for those of you who might want to get this look. Take out your old necklaces, chains, pearls etc... Take out an old or new plain dress or top.. Then sew the necklaces on as shown in the above photo for a totally smashing look! I am sure you guys can do better and come up with something more original. I will definitely be giving this a go!
The scarf... Yeah yeah... it's okay... but the shirt... I think it's the colour... I'm quite liking red these days... gee I must be aggressive or angry or something? Anyways, I actually liked Tekbir's shirt from last year which was soooo similar to this. Well, while I was in Turkey, I did hear that Armine has a law suit against it due to copying/stealing designs from other brands. The only reason it seems as its designs are original is advertising. They advertise soooooo much more compared to any other brand in Turkey.
I absolutely dislike this scarf. No offense to anybody who likes it.. seriously! But the mid-calf trench is a nice one. They actually had a very similar one out in the previous season (2010 Spring/Summer Collection) in Camel.
Sweet... Pretty... Feminine... Classy... Can you tell I adore the whole package? My favourite style combination in the entire catalogue.. Give me anything in the 'colour' nude and I'll love it! :))
Can you see something odd in this photo? :)) I seriousle cannot believe Armine released this photo as it is! I've been told that they weren't happy with the catalogue so they are printing a new one (I was told after requesting them to send one with the hubster). If this is from the re-printed catalogue, then I wonder how the first one was? Hijab, mid-calf trench... and guess what? No pants! LOL I know that it's been 40+ degrees celcius hot in Turkey so I can imagine that it wasn't easy taking the photos (but surely they must have had air conditioning in the studio), but please, chop the legs off will you? Or is this the new trend? May Allah forbid.. I'm sure it's only a blooper LOL I can't get over it :)
