Having caused a stir in London last season it feels right Yildirim should show in Paris.
I can't actually recall a visual impression of last season's collection but looking back at my notes I characterised it as minimalist gothic bodycon moving between tailoring and sportswear.
That he can fuse so many motifs and do it with such simplicity really is testament to how talented a designer he is. And he's even managed to conjuer up a nod to a 70's inspired silhouette layered on top of everything else this season.
So what's not to like. His work sort of feels at the centre of everything right now, at the confluence of all the right trends and emininently wearable. It's almost as if if you had to define the fashionable right now you might point to Hakaan. Maybe.
The only thing is, because his work is so quiet and subtle, not only does it not pull up any trees in terms of original statement making, I've already almost forgotten what it was I saw this season let alone last.
It's so at the intersection of everything else that it's everything and nothing all at the same time but I quite like that.
