Even better than how I remembered it! it's like the lights went on! such a gorgeous collection.. minus specific and really small touches of its time (the leggings), everything else passed the test of time and it just makes me sad that her label progressively lost funding until it ceased to exist, she was so promising and one of the few designers that had that perfect balance of romanticism, sharpness, seriousness and playfulness.

That look on Luca withe the ruffles coming from the side is still one of my favorites, and didn't notice until now the great black and burgundy on Erin Wasson and Lily Donaldson.

Thank you so much, Mayaan! please bring more AVH when you have the time! (here's one vote for Couture S/S 05 🗳️).

how tragic that real fashion like this can just go completely overlooked... these clothes are beautiful

^ this is what 'another show of another day of couture/PFW' used to look like before the suits had their Black Friday with the crisis of 2008 and worked day and night brainwashing everyone into thinking that you were only valuable as a designer if your designs were produced for YSL, Chanel, Dior, LV, etc, all the old houses that co-existed fine with independent design but were not actively trying to decimate it and to present independent labels as only a waiting room for creative people to finally get to a conglomerate. Thanks to this nice offering of creativity in different forms, pressure was higher and so was the bar for everyone, so you'd see this, and Theyskens at his finest 2 hours later, followed by Pieters, Ghesquiere, etc.

I don't think she'll ever come back, definitely not to produce something like this, but I still think this level of corporatization in fashion is not sustainable and that a new generation will want nothing to do with it and get dogmatic on the potential fashion design (and not fickle creative direction) still has.
