[TheItGirl]

love it! Looks pretty wearable to me.

 

[sethii]

Love the dress on Marina, and the trench on Kim. Very refreshing collection.

 

[Salvatore]

First collection of his I like!

 

[cesarcmma]

PARIS IS HERE!!!!

I love his work, and this is his best collection so far, and I actually find wearable some jackets and trousers. The structure and creative effort of this collections is outstanding.

Where he shows the men stuff???

 

[clocked]

oh YES

i LOVE the dresses!! esp. the one on lily

 

[Selket]

wow very impressive indeed

 

[thiago:)]

Which materials does he use? PVC ?

 

[Inaya]

It's absolutely magnificent. He has managed to restrain the over-the-top aspects and produce a brilliant, cohesive and imaginative collection

I would love to have a go at trying to wear some of that - it's like those clothes are asking me, "do you have the personality to wear this?" rather than having the perfect figure.

So I see a different sort of wearability in it, one that's heavily dependent on the person you are inside, not the tiny size of your thighs (though given the amount of white, that won't hurt).

How is that not casual? I wear it to the grocery store on a daily basis.

Oh, okey, the grocery store I visit doesn't have big enough doors.
I do like some of the more wearable pieces posted from catwalking. I like the fact that instead of making wierd shapes just for the eff of it, but actually building upon the woman form with the exhagurated hips, but still powerful with the strong shoulders

i agree. i have to admit, i was expecting some really over the top, overly dramatic, unwearable pieces. but i think this is the most wearable collection he's done yet. and when i mean wearable i don't mean the ability to wear. i mean i feel like this collection is able to reach a broader audience than his previous collections. i bet that scarf is going to be a must have item. and that leather jacket with the black shoulders? mmm biker chic at it's best.

i also love the fact that he put his own twist on the classic white shirt. i've been seeing a lot of that lately and i'm glad people are trying to put their own spin on the classics.

his other collections impressed me from a visual standpoint but that's as far as it went. this is the first time his collection has pleased me from not only a visual standpoint but from an aesthetic standpoint as well. as inaya said, he knew when to hold back, and that takes true talent to know when to stop. hopefully, he will continue to progress.

Some pieces I really like, I dont think its anything really special or new though, and I think some of the 'tailored' pieces look really badly made. I dont think its his best show, some of his showpeices can be really impressive but Ive yet to see any of the 'commercial' pieces that dont look shoddy and naive.
I really cringe when people compare him to Galliano and Mcqueen aswell, who at this point in their careers were in a completely different league.

 

[spiceboy]

really cool, i think its bit more tonned down than usual

 

[delicafly]

I love most of these pieces. Such a cool collection

 

[mackos]

First collection of his I like!

Same here! He really managed to bring some freshness and the clothes look really amazing! Technology meets technique

Yes! There's some really good craftmanship compared to previous shows! I cannot wait to see a video!

 

[Spike413]

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand the technique is amazing, as always. It's creative, again, as always. And he did push himself, it's much more romantic than anything he's done before.

But on the other hand I'm starting to feel like I'd like to see what else he can do, and I think Paris would've been that opportunity for him to not just enhance what he does but expand upon it. We know that he can do outsized, angular shapes and interesting, futuristic textures. I feel like I want to see him take that to the next step.
