I liked that it was a bit more toned down, not as much lace overload as in his recent collections but I agree that the gowns had too much going on, they were the weakest part of the collection, in my opinion. I thought the back of all the dresses at the beginning was really nice, the use of leather made sense and looked great. The prints and colors are not my cup of tea at all, though. Overall I thought it was quite a good collection coming from him, even if he will never be groundbreaking or original or anything. But at least he sticks to what he does best and what clearly seems to sell.
The shoes were pretty but I hated how the models couldn't walk in them. And the bags were disappointing, I didn't like any of them.
