i love every single thing here. The prints - as usual - are amazing, the outerwear is to die for, the color palette is fantastic, there's so much elegance and life, and i'm honestly obsessed with this dress:

thank god for dries. This might seem like he's on autopilot, but it's such a palate cleanser over the sheer ugliness i've seen so far.

Few years ago his collections were more exciting, the looks were more spectacular.
But i still like Dries collections, yes,he started to be repetitive, some prints from past but finally so many looks and for every taste.

Maybe Dries collection looks little bit boring because of many designers/brands which send on the runway looks similar to Gucci and Balenciaga...

What is the point of making huge collections like this one? Its obvious he wont sell everything.

It's Dries, so of course I love it, but I have to say I'm a little underwhelmed. It might be growing on me, but at least at first sight, this is my least favorite collection of his in years.

I don't love the color palette as much as in previous collections, it seems all very tame and dark. I don't really like the first two prints either (and unfortunately, they set the tone for what is to come), and the fringes just aren't my personal taste at all.
It's still exquisite and I love the outerwear and some of the dresses, but in previous seasons I would have sold my grandma to own some of the pieces...I'm not that blown away this time.

Loved every single look

Dries is usually a show (menswear and womenswear tbh) where I want everything and this is no exception. He knows how to do eclecticism but in the most refined way.

There're a lot of great and interesting pieces here! ♥

Something is off about this collection. A lot of great pieces but as a whole, something is missing.
Dries has been very hits/misses lately.

Dries doesn’t do precollections and this collection will have a long life in the stores. That’s why his shows have a lot of looks.

But he will sell or at least produce everything.

exactly!
This is eclectic, colorful, playful, eccentric even but at the same time it's extremely elegant and refined... Every look works, this is the sign of an actual designer vs someone who entered a thrift shop blindfolded, threw some clothes together and called it a day.

the show itself is just wonderful as always he is a true master. so much emotion, feeling, heart and soul. love it so much.

 

[Fiercification]

For me it's clearly his best show in a while now. Yes Dries! The elements are typical to a lot of his recent output but this time everything comes together fantastically. The austere flower/feather prints look great on the black looks at the beginning and then towards the middle on stark white. Amazing outerwear and best use of feathers (better?) since Prada S/S 2017, really a lot to digest here.

Agree, he has regressed in recent years. Still super lovely work and better than most, but not as magical as his streak a few years back.
