Okay, to discuss:
Being a definite Carpe diem fan, I for the most am taken aback with the (few) female pieces I've seen (photographed). As with the second above – reminiscent of a Linea jacket I own –, with similarity or even identity to the corresponding male pieces, I have no problem. But when Altieri takes on intrinsically female designs – regarding length, curvature, certain volumes –, I think he often fails. The first pictured above is an example. He seems to have a particular problem with skirts (but I have seen one nice, b/w).
Amadei has produced some better, but pretty basic models of womenswear.
I think Altieri's failure here is not only æsthetical, also ideological. For me, Carpe diem should be about reduction, thus gender-neutrality.

I'll try to steal some moments to address your post in a bit. I just wanted to note very quickly, that the first image above is not a "women's" piece, per se. I don't know if you are perceiving the bottom as a skirt, due to the image boundary, but they are in fact pants. No failure in the consideration of curvature, volume or length (length is debatable, dependent upon your preference for extended/elongated patterns). I'm happy to see you open for discussion. Let's keep momentum going MASUGNEN.

You are correct. Those are CDiem images. I hadn't seen them anywhere online before and thought it would be fun to kick up a little dust with them.Last edited by DHC; 11-09-2010, 05:03 PM.Originally posted by Faustfuck you, i don't have an attitude problem.
