wow, i think he is finally finding his womenswear groove. the belted black dress in post 3 is possibly the most perfect black dress i've seen in ages. while the footwear look like lead weights they weirdly completely balance everything. i think thats what is so surprising, i never expected him to accentuate the female form in such a perfect way with such candor and sincerity.

That's the one look here which I'm totally in love with, too. It's a nice collection but there's not much else here that really interests or excites me. And the styling doesn't do much for this collection, IMO.
I agree with you, luckyme. This collection finally looks as if it was thought for a woman, which is something that was missing in the past (same problem Raf Simons had at Jil Sander ), I take it Samuel Drira styled the show (could someone please confirm this?), cause the silhouettes scream Encens and it's probably what's finally won me over.. there are references to old days and timeless ways of dressing, which is interesting as the pieces separately would actually look very now.
there's definitely some obvious references....as you mentioned bruno....even hussein chalayan--remember the cocoon collection? also perhaps a bit of his work at TSE.
i have to admit that in spite of that,i'm not disliking it. it's a lot more mature than it's been and perhaps even a bit more distinctive as his work tended to get a bit repetitive.
