Dries is one of my favourite designers. Like Elbaz, he for me is a master mixer. He’s usually genius at mixing contrasts, particularly his way with textiles: heft and lightness, texture and silk, formal and casual, for example.
This collection seems lethargic, however. Perhaps it’s because most of the forms/shapes are languid, without any structure - or tension - which makes the collection a bit forgetful imo.
That being said, I like the collarless coat (will collarless be trend next year?) in look 8, and the outerwear in look 16. I also love the fluidity of the trousers. But nothing makes me want to create a wishlist just yet. Nor aren’t they pieces that I can’t find elsewhere. Let’s see how I feel though after seeing the vid.
