When he’s less contrived, less desperate and less strained and thinking of women first, he actually conjures up some really impressive separates. The leathers especially, are lush and luxe; the purple leather jumpsuit is strangely magical: Very true to Azzedine’s offerings of a sharp but effortless graphic silhouette. That gray dress with the pleated skirt with a touch of structured peplum and girdle is probably the strongest and still sensual silhouette he’s designed. Impeccably gorgeous. Bink’s deep navy velvet gown is a very close runner up.
