Anthony Vaccarello S/S 2013 Paris

not quite as good as last season cos i like when he works with colour more
 
tacky, tacky, tacky, as usual.

This wannabe Azzedine Alaia guy is stuck in his 80's bad bodycon aesthetic. Some of the fabrics are nice though, except the really kitsch ones he used in the end of the collection.
 
Is he actually that clueless to think that dresses are his strongest points, when in reality he barely knows how to construct a dress? I mean, look at that closing dress. That can't even be qualified as a monstrosity because it cannot be qualified as a dress. It's fabric slapped onto the model's body, pure and simply. I also detest how he insists on folded skirts and bare midriffs. Those are iffy ideas to begin with, and his poor execution just kills the whole thing.
Easily the best point of the collection, and his strong point overall, are the cargo skirts/shirts/pants/coats on the beginning. It's undoubtedly what he's best at. I would like him so much more if he just ditched the sexy try-hard look and started a whole new sporty-utilitarian aesthetic, because that's truly what he's good at.

I agree with you. That last dress was absolutely nothing...
 
What a surprise..Anja closing with half her body naked.. I would bet one milion on that.
I don't like his style and his "dress"
 
He's such a one trick pony.
 
not so good as i expected. i hope F/W '12.13 wasn't his last good collection ...

The beginning was strong and utilitarian but then it just went downhill really fast :sick: that closing dress is disgusting.
 
It always looks messy. I get that his thing is louche and sexy, but this seems super forced and not well executed. As in, flat out messy garments, if you can even call them that. At least it looks as though it is designed for the Summer. You know you wont be sweating, more than likely you will be making men sweat. Which I guess is a good thing, maybe?
 
dont care for the collection, what i liked is that great location

everybody was freezing but at least it was interesting to show in an open industrial area
yeah!
