After two poor seasons, a return to something like the promise of his debut collection for Mr Altuzarra

Agree! This looks promising! Last season was a disaster for him. This looks quite polished. I'm curious about those fabrics. Is it woven leather? I can't tell from the small photos :S

 

[DevonDevore]

it looks like he and alex wang shared ideas this season...

 

[softgrey]

yes- i read somewhere that it is woven leather...
hard to tell except up close...

 

[disco54]

is he VERY GOOD friends with Alexander Wang lol , the hair and make up and some of the leather looks quite similar lol

Just this season? You should check out their last collection.

Again, I feel like comparisons have been hastily made. Both designers showed leather dresses but in almost no way are they stylistically similar beyond the choice of material.

This looks good so far.

 

[Kayote]

I like it! That last piece is my fav.

And having just seen the quite awful Wang collection, if they did exchange notes/ ideas, Alexander was not paying attention...

I disagree. These comparisons are fairly made based on what they have shown recently. As I have mentioned, go back and look at Wang and Altuzarra's fall collection. They shared more than just the materials. This season, it's no exceptions. Once again, similarities are found. For this to happen consecutively, it isn't so much of a coincidence. Evidently, the two are sharing the same ideas and interpreting it their own ways.

Altuzurra is much more body-conscious, while A. Wang's clothes are shapeless. To me, they are completely different.

I remember last season and, just like this season, I truly fail to see the similarities.

Meh,not bad,nothing too exciting either,but I definitely think it's better than his previous collections.

Some of the fabrics seemed too heavy for spring/summer season,though.

 

[Squizree]

Oh yay! This is closer to his first 2 collections which I really enjoyed. Loving the leather here, it's so sexy

 

[FakeFlower]

There are some gorgeous pieces, but the flower prints in the middle of the collection totally turn me off. Because of the leather dresses the models appear quite large in my opinion and some cuts are very unflattering as well.. Also for the makeup those eyebrows are just way too dark and make the models look like clowns.
He can definitely do better than this!

 

[gossiping]

i am so disappointed because i loved everything he has done so far

 

[markese91]

i like this more than his last collection

 

[chloesaab]

^you're right it's way better than last season which was a DISASTER
