Beautiful collection. I was so disappointed last season and this is a major improvement for me, he seems to have finally found a comfortable spot at Nina Ricci where he can represent the brand but still stick to a vision and technique that is close to what he's known for and what old time fans expect from him.
The detailing looks exquisite in these pictures.. can't wait to see it up close.
thanks for posting, chessmess.

YES! On-track shall we say! HAHA!

And the usual satin trousers! It's not going away, which is good!

I like it. I wasn't sure at first, but seeing the whole thing - it works.

Stellar collection, it soo paied off to be more expirimental, i was disappointed with his last collection but this is wonderful.

The first transeprent pieces that look like undergarmet are soo fantastic, and i love how he mixed asutere with sexy and totally made it work, and same for some shilouettes they look dated until you scroll down and see them in full, well done.

BRAVO! If I were present and had the nerve i'd be inclined to give this a standing ovation. For the first time he's been at Nina Ricci he's breached the complexities and creative realms that made him the star at Rochas. This collection is a tour de force of immaculate and utterly gorgeous clothes.

So ethereal, whimsical but not costumy. Beautiful prints and finishings. A sensuous silhouette beyond dull clichés. And the mood so breathtaking.

I didn't like his past collection but this one is growing on me, the color palette is calm but well match, and it's sexy and classy.

I really hate that cut that he put on every skirt. Maybe if it wasn't like that I would feel better about the collection as a whole. I don't get why its every piece though

Post 71, number 4 is AMAZING

[The.Rock.Inc.]

yes i am so wrong about the learning the silhouette from versace part. and there's no comparison.

i wonder why he included that 3 super simple pieces in the middle? to show a variety or to prove a point?

i feel a bit of rochas back in this, it is alot more romantic than his previous few collections...

I'm not sure....so far, nothing he's done at Ricci can top FW 07.

I can't really put my finger on what I don't really like about this. I mean, I don't want to give up hope on Olivier, because his work for Rochas was beyond breathtaking, but after 3 seasons of disappointment...I'm not so sure what to think anymore. I don't think I'll like a Ricci collection again...as long as it stays on this track, I won't, at least.

[Peregrina_RZ]

I really really like this it is a bit different to what i expected from him but it's beautiful. The only problem is that it's not very suitable to wear in my climate
