Great collection...a relief after S/S's odd turn of sorts. I love the belted jackets and the hue of blue he used in the pieces from the middle section, I just wish he'd give the prints a rest as they are making my head hurt a little.

I was glad to see he brought over a few of the fur pieces like he had in the amazing men's collection, wish even more of that had been carried over and less of the prints. Yet another collection featuring Python boots, and I still haven't warmed up to them, some of the other shoes looked great though.

i think he is losing inspiration and may be a bit bored. there is so little inflection and it seems uncharacteristically monotonous.

I preferred the menswear and was hoping he'd go that same direction, but this is okay too I suppose.

Beyond stunning as always. All the print combinations are to die for. They really know what they're doing!

the mismatched patterns are an eyesore but some nice pieces make up for those

I just wish he'd give the prints a rest as they are making my head hurt a little.

Me too, I've always preferred his sober side, the clean lines and thick materials in quiet palettes.. still I find this quite lovely even if it's nowhere near being one of his best shows.. I like the prints when they're combined with a patchwork effect in some of the dresses, it makes for a very needed fresh, less grown-up twist. I also like the thickness of the knits at the beginning.. and the black beaded dress at the end is really beautiful, it looks like an improved version of the Chanel S/S 05 wedding dress (in white, of course).

Not all of the patterns work for me but I really like this collection a lot.

hmmm....i feel conflicted. although,i do think its a bit more progressive than the previous seasons,i'm not so crazy about the overt print work either. i wish if he were to focus on pattern he would return to a more textile base,as opposed to mere prints. and like mullet said too,he does sober so well,i kind of wish he would explore that a bit more. i do like the overall feel of the collection though.
