Day 4: What Others are Saying…(part 3)

Three divergent views on Josh Goot:

Retailer Ann Watson of Henri Bendel (from the New York Magazine ask a retailer series) :
Nothing is more exciting than seeing a young designer stretch beyond his comfort zone. Josh showed his great signature body-conscious scuba dresses, which looked terrific, but he also debuted new silhouettes that were looser and more fluid. His standout pieces were either color-blocked or printed. The water-print tank in black and white, the color-blocked long-sleeved chemise, and his finale, a multicolored tiered jersey dress, were all perfect for spring.

Editor Kelly Quan of ZOOZOOM Magazine:
This Well crafted collection bodes well for the coming Spring season. Mr. Goot dared us to be a bit bolder, to look beyond the usual. To embrace our sensuality. And while he might be seen to be shaking the same tree, from my view, he’s exercising his finer points.

Editor Gemma Cartwright of Shiny Media’s Catwalk Queen:
This was not a bad collection, it was just instantly forgettable. With as many misses as hits - there were a few nasty tie-dye effect tops towards the end that cancelled out the pretty colour block pieces - it won’t go down in history as a classic show. But no doubt it will sell!
