The least inspiring collection he's shown in some time, the geometric pattern isn't interesting at all.

 

[Lola701]

It’s a pity that he insist at doing those big shapes because once he gets closer to the body, it’s just so desirable.
Maybe he needs to be around Donatella again...
There are some very desirable things in this collection. Unfortunately, I’ll forget about it in 24hrs.

Some of the dresses, with geometrical cuts, reminded me of his first collections (when his work was interesting).

But the rest is generic. And his obsession with "jelly" and cheap ornaments put the whole collection down again.

Like I’ve mentioned before in his collection threads....it’s such a mistake for him to have such little focus in his shows now. There’s no consistent silhouette or detail or gimmick that defines one collection of his from the next. His earlier work is so definable...the Ape collection, the big pailettes on knit, the neon lace, the gingham show, the needlepoint florals on leather, the shredded denim and python...on and on and on. Those are just off the top of my head. But I couldn’t tell you a collection of his from the last 5 years, though. That’s a problem.

My biggest problem is that I still remember his early collections and his Versus work. There's something very daring. It's a sexy touch that is very quirky and authentic in a way. While I understand that now he has his own language, it becomes a mixed collections of good and forgettable looks. Some of these looks are just outright unflattering.

I think Christopher is a talented designer, I really love his old works and I think his approach on this collection nowadays is quite straight forward. You have one elements and you explore it to the max but, the execution are not very desirable. I don't know why would he use the satin fabric ? The lace and cotton poplin works fine with the details, but the satin is very tricky with all the line and sewing and shape.
I miss the old Kane.

 

[Yohji]

I guess I’m in the minority but I still enjoy his work...

 

[YohjiAddict]

His lack of focus notwithstanding this is a rather good show, weird that both he and J. W. decided for a similarly strict, geometric, silhouette that stands apart from the body. The sexier dresses are still where his talents really shine though, loved the blue poplin looks, a whole collection of that would have been awesome.

He can do better but I've seen worst from him. Hoping he's not planning to do troll keychains next season and leaves toys to children though.

 

[GivenchyHomme]

This is so sad. I had to go back and look at Fall 2011. The one where he first introduced the jelly packs. This is a ghost in comparison. It's really a shame that he hasn't adapted to the times. It's no wonder why Kering gave up this brand. There's nothing left in it.

He is a very talented designer!! But I do think that this collection is all over the place, and his earlier work was a lot more consistent.

I do love the dresses that are tighter though!!
As Lola701 stated, he should really stick with that silhouette more... it could be amazing!
