I prefer Narciso's collection, this is very boring save for the shoes. I like those.
 
I think the shapes are stunning. The second to last mint-ish green dress, like celery, is very interesting. Maybe not the most flattering, but very striking.
 
Such an amazing collection. The techniques used in it are so beautiful. I feel like it looks a bit deconstructed. So beautiful.
 
I can sum up this collection in two words: shower curtains.

But I'll elaborate: the clothes were ill-fitting, cheap and plasticky looking, and did not move with the wearers' bodies.

On a more subjective note, I didn't much like the styling and I hated the sand dollar bras.

The only two pieces I like are the last two in post #4, which are strangely shapeless semi-ruched sheaths that recall a shed caterpillar skin or something like that. This at least was interesting to me, and kind of science-fictiony.
 
Oh my goodness, I am so sick of this. This is such a let down compared to his resort collection....I appreciate the small raw details featured and the peek-a-boo corset like bras under the dresses but it doesn't hurt to have color....Francisco!

Was anyone else ready to fall asleep during the livestream?

Edit: tangerine pretty much sums up that collection pretty well...

It's certainly not as strong as the last two seasons, which not only demonstrated Costa's ease with construction and were fairly flattering but evoked a feeling (S/S 2012 - youthful, feminine; F/W 2012 - dark, luxurious). I found the body con to be a nice touch and the black detailing in the pieces from Look 5 onwards appealing but it did get a little dull towards the end.
 
I'm glad he's experimenting with different shapes. I just wish he had done it in a way that wasn't so ugly.
 
I'm not convinced by this collection. A lot of it looks really clumsy and badly put together. A lot of it also left me scratching my head; some of those platform shoes were just awful, especially paired with the super shorter lengths, which were also very strange.

After such a strong Fall Winter collection, this was really disappointing. He really struggles to make an impact with the Spring Summer collections. The last, truly inspiring Spring Summer collection he did was for SS 2010.
 
i like the old school feeling, een the heaviness of some of the fabrics but his is not a summer-y summer collection
