underage tFS. but yeah, same for McQueen, if someone hasn't brought him up yet, then clock's ticking!.
The entire collection could be the same as last season or the one before last season or all the others he's done, nothing atrocious, I would even get one or two items from it, but an all-dresses/skirts festival can hardly be considered a collection in my book, he changes prints and textures, that's all he seems to be wanting to do, not much different than Rodarte, except Rodarte at least pretends to be experimental, this guy doesn't, he could be Mark Fast for all I know, only with a great casting director, hip stylist and all the cool friends behind him.
(thiago where are you?? i'm sure you'll know what i'm talking about! lol)...
As much as it drives me crazy reading it in most of the collection threads every season, I actually did see a vague Balenciaga vibe at first. The first few blurry pictures especially made me think of Ghesquiere's S/S 03 scuba collection with those dense jungle prints on black neoprene.
But seeing the whole thing it is different. I wish I could say I liked it more, because in concept I do. The whole needlepoint florals with kinky black patent is original in it's own way, but beyond appreciating the clash of elements I can't get past how much I loathe the florals themselves.

^^Isn't, though? For those interested, the song is "This Bitter Earth/On the Nature of Daylight" - Dinah Washington & Max Richter (from the "Shutter Island" soundtrack).
It adds such an emotional layer to the show. I adore this collection, I love that Kane was thinking of a juvenile delinquent who's mother is locked up in prison, embroidering delicate flowers to bide the time, and the music makes everything seem so tragic and sweet.
