Well,there was only that one on Wire Image. All white with a tee pee on the front page,as I told you before. But you could get a real sense of what it was like. Of course,we're also talking about Cosmic Wonder

And I completely left off Charles Anastase...he would go under sub-par as well. Good stuff but not what I expected from him.

My current list, somethings bound to change by the time the collections are in stores.

Balenciaga-so much less pretensious then his last few collections, very easy and cool.

Viktor and Rolf-first section, pure perfection. Second sections, pure fantasy, a great blend of the two.

Dior-quite an improvement from last season's collection. Even though I didn't love it, it was a welcome change of pace.

McQueen-pure showmanship from the master. An amazing reinterpretation of past collections.

Rochas-lighter, more easy and less vintage-esque then past seasons.

Liked but not loved- Gucci, beautiful jackets and interesting beadwork, but just too theme driven for Gucci.

Disappointed-YSL, for all the praise and anticipation, I was hoping for something a bit more today, an bit more youthful, something with more substance.
