^ There's a big crisis going on..Riccardo is a smart guy, he's thought about sellings, too..or maybe it was just the inspiration of the whole collection

I think he's looking to the middle east and central Asia like a lot of designers have been, the subtext of environmental adaptation, sensual draping, and fresh ethnic references are hitting the mark and setting the direction. It just so happens when you take this trend and apply it to a couture collection, with Tisci's sensibility no less, you have a huge jackpot with the clients in the middle east who are some of couture's newest and biggest clients. I don't at all think he did it just to appease them. If that were the case he would be doing something for the Chinese, couture's soon-to-be largest and most promising market.

I hope some outfits will be a BIG hit in the whole Middle-East (Dubaï, Doha, Barhein etc.) ...
Cannot wait to see these women walking the malls like this ...

But I don't know ... actually ...
Was it meant to be sold overhere ?

Someone knows if Cheikha Moza was in Paris for Couture Week ?
She was in France not so long ago ...

i'm loving the dramatic jewelry

[eternitygoddess]

Mozah is faithful to JPG.

The Islamic looks are INSANELY fantastic.

I don't get what the spikey accessories are though. why'd he use so many spikes?

i seriously LOVE this collection but i cannot help thinking of balmain's first look in the aw09 collection when i see those black sparkly harem pants........

[MulletProof]

these white jackets with golden detailing must be the most irresistible item I've seen in a long long time.

It's a good collection, far from a favorite but definitely better than the last couple of seasons, he's just incredible, totally made for the job..

Ummmm, my expectations were higher. This looks good, the last looks are amazing but the whole collection disappointed me a bit. On the other hand I'm sure it will grow on me in no time.
