I think the pieces may be beautiful on their own, but I think that as a collection the lack of cohesiveness is distracting.
I really love his work but, ever since his 2007 hiatus, he just seems to have lost so much confidence to project his vision and find a comfort zone
This looks like something inspired by Camille Bidault, especially the palette.. and totally not what an Anastase fan and customer would want, I mean, an oversized yellow shirt and long/minimalist morticia dresses?, that's Ann-Sofie's territory.
I don't understand why he struggles so much to find a balance.. the sequence of his collections almost feel tense these days.. you can always tell what he was aiming for as he seems to have a defined idea of fashion and dressing yet the result is often incoherent, he swings from ultra frilly to contrived girlishness to forced eccentricity and dull commercialism, delivering a good and thoughtful collection somewhere in the middle (S/S 09).. I really love his work but, ever since his 2007 hiatus, he just seems to have lost so much confidence to project his vision and find a comfort zone where he can be himself while still integrating trends and be commercially appealing, which, judging by his last 3 shows, all seem to be a major concern for him.
