Is he trying to bring back the zoot suit!?

ok maybe I should wait to see the entire collection before I judge.

 

[FashionPower]

[AustralianaBoy]

Um wow hello shoulders?

Pretty sure I can buy the same jackets at the local thrift or charity store for $5.

The yellow looks plus Magdalena & Kati are the best, the rest is pretty crazy and exagerated in a bad bad way! I was hopping for a stellar outing from him, but that wasn't the case
Too bad

 

[Vitamine W]

Loooooooooving the power shoulders!

 

[liberty33r1b]

It's kind of a mixed bag for me. The b&w checker print isn't so great imo, but I do like the exaggerated silhouettes. Very 80s with those shoulders.

This feels as if 90s Gianni Versace slapped me in the face...

Neither liking the excessive "power shoulders" nor the harlequin print.

(Missing Christophe Decarnin`s excellent work for Balmain )

YES! Beautiful!

I love these shoulder pads...they're not your mainstream kind that we saw in 2009, their a lot more delicate like the Balenciaga collection for F/W 12.13 but to be honest I prefer this way more because it's definetely sexy and I LOVE, LOVE the details....Again, the designer makes these clothes look worth the price tag, or maybe i'm just a sucker for well-tailored clothing.
