[JuiceMajor]

Am so in luv with Givenchy!! Time to buff up!

 

[marus]

Sandals for winter? Really? Ummm.. and the legging pants again.. I don't know, I think is time for a new change

Jesus Lord !

I thought this was shorts ...

these are skirrts.

ok, i got it, now.

and no, no it's not very Marc Jacobs (in his own) ... He's more Sissy looking.
I just hope tougher men will have balls to wear this. idk his personnal sexual life, but a man who carries such Hermès bags loses his "top" position.

the photo lied to me. i just saw lines and total looks. i want some shorts, now !!!!!!

UGH! who is the asian male that finished? i love his look.
- im seeing a lot of models from red model management & request models. does anyone know who does givenchy's show castings?

Daniel Peddle does the men's.

I like the gold wreath necklaces, the trousers, some of the outerwear pieces & the casting. I always like Givenchy's diverse cast. I can't say I like the skirts though, I just can't wrap my head around men wearing skirts with exception to kilts.
The 2nd to last look in post #10. that hoodie, I want it.

If anything it's Thom Brown with the skorts.

It's all a bit too clean for me, was expecting a lot more.

i feel like the collection will get not such positive reviews from the younger more web-fashion crowd and the fan-boys as it is such a more tame and reserved and yes commercial collection but the fashion press and buyers will love!
if you look closely at the cuts and shapes and the innovative details built into the clothing like the outerwear it is amazing and so beautifully executed..
its a cliche but it works to say that it is very modern but with a classic twist.
and i think they have kept going with the leggings as it is kind of the signature of each collection, this season you can tell they are easing off with it though as they are in neoprene and full length etc.

I really like most of it, there are some basic and lovely pieces. Not keen on the holy staff though, that Jesus t-shirt looks so silly and out of place, I actually prefer JPG's attitude to the religious alusions. Quite daring to see the skirts which I like, but not sure if the sandals are a good idea.

Oh, and I'm still curious about the venue, if someone will figure it out, please let me know.

I don't see the MJ comparison either... and generally don't compare collections but for me it's very Raf Simons (mens) FW 06/07

ETA - also I am really glad for the lack of embellishments.. I think he makes great pieces, so it's nice to see.

The Venue was the grand room in the Sorbonne apparently!

i thought the collection looked fantastic. not as in 'spectacle kind of fantastic', but very refined, very focused and, yes, maybe a bit too narrow-minded in that sense. it was quite obvious how the pushed the editorial pieces down the runway and i'm pretty much sure the sandals, the golden pieces and leggins/skirts will make most of editorial exposure for this collection. otherwise, i think the whole collection made very much sense in terms of it being so now and so Givenchy. looking at the white shirt with this sort of frontshirt and black studded trousers made me think of what MCB would wear if she was a man (in the Givenchy universe of course). i guess it's such a good example of how both women's and men's lines can go hand in hand translating the image and aesthetic for the house. and it's not that common for fashion labels.
there were some amazing numbers (coat on Simon, the whole look on Eduardo and navy suits on the blond guys). it felt very much at ease, yet refined. i doubt the obsession with skirts, and these shiny naked torsos felt a bit too much of a 'street style' reference. but i guess it's the price mr Tisci had to pay to hold his editorial credibility with this show.

some looks r just so not F/W. maybe for F/W in the bedroom?

 

[Bidwell]

Gender bending skirts are so OLD as to possibly be considered "classic" enough by the very young. The avant garde mens association in london in the 30's and Rudi Gernreich would stand up and salute you. It seems equality in reverse as a male so I will not comment more. Perhaps I just don't have the right gammes anymore...

 

[afterrhours]

so much better than some of his previous stuff. it's very polished and clean, which i like. the gold jewelry and the trousers are the standouts for me, some of the outerwear too. not a fan of the skirts though. cdg homme plus did it and it worked for me once, but thats all.

 

[Merveille]

Kind of underwhelming...
I like the thorn necklace and the tights (been wearing them about two years now, I don't see why people think men's leggings are strange).
I expected more :/

Edit: Also, props for him for using racially diverse models.

 

[Fiercification]

Well it's obviously more understated and commercial in terms of overall looks. But I think that the symmetry of the coats, jackets and suits is very refined and gives the feel of a clean cut look. However the sandals and tights are really silly. Don't want to talk about the "skirts", maybe they were thinking of the kilt influence IDK really.

 

[simons]

so underwhelmed. nothing new, so very boring. i didnt like last seasons at all so in comparison this is a step up.

 

[mikeijames]

i just pray there's a selling engine behind this menswear because it's clear that givenchy has found its voice and its working on so many levels. it's a testament to tisci that this silhouette doesn't look SO radical anymore. a few seasons back he was the only one doing things like this and now it seems that others in fashion have started to take notice.

and i love it when the most decadent of designers get religion. it reminds me of the dsquared2 fall 2005 collection in that way. also, blaak referenced the same this week, too.

It's pretty convincing collection I think. He designed a wardrobe for Jesus Christ if he were still alive today and somehow I think it works! Putting sandals in a collection about the Lawd our Shepherd makes perfect sense, but then again, it's Winter we're talking about. Not that I understand sandals for Summer, but whatever.
