Karl did make it to Chanel however (and Fendi, Chloe etc) so he did ok afterwards. I think you are on top form Kaiser Karl sir.
I read the collection backwards on Style so backwards read - we start @ the end - first/last up, those shine armour pieces animal armourlike silhouettes evoking Plato's Atlantis, shining Chimera. Optimistic - shining out like stars. Thereafter, still backwards - Big Bang explosion prints - geeky like MiuMiu's.
Next up religious safari. And oh how the whole of LVMH plundered Yves codes for SS13. Cheeky. Victory. Champion Raf. Dior leading.
Mondrianlike geo prints on the bias on leather. Yves Mondrian dresses but laid on the diagonal. Spiritual peach through to robes including of vibrant daffodil. Nude. army. protection. Geishas. Scuba. Cargo/safari pocket frames on the geo. Drawing us in. Texture. Boxes. Cubes. Piety. Purity. Samurai. Gathers in leathersmocks.
