I like it. Even though I still prefer her debut, this is still a strong collection.
The attitude of the collection feels very relaxed. Great individual pieces combined with sublime styling from Suzanne Koller. It's just a chef kiss.
I like the direction she is going for Carven. It reminds me of old Prada when it was more sensual and less complicated, unlike the current days.
I like the outerwear, and the laid-back tailoring is very pleasing.
I'm not convinced yet that the evening part and maybe different shoes can help to elevate the collection even more.
And I wish there was more knitwear, tbh that where she's shines the most.
Overall, Louis Trotter is on the right track, give her time and maybe Carven can have a comeback. I'm eager to see more.
