I was literally frothing at the mouth. OK, my favorite of all season.

I don't really get this at all. I see less Gaultier and more McQueen, Rodarte and Prada.

I like it!! I love the colours, theyre very mesmerising. And I love the graphicness of it all, everything is very exaggerated and in your face.

this sh^it is effin FREZOSH!!!

i'm fanning myself, this is so effin good.
jpg is revisiting and reinterpreting ideas of past collections and he proves he's still got it ....
it's exciting, it's got personality.

this has me really, really excited and has me really looking forward to the s/s 09 rtw. i hope his rtw will become more lively and have more spirit after this, like it was back in the day.

PLEASE.....if anything, you see jpg in their work, NOT the other way around
this man has been doing his thing since 1976!! and he helped shape the look of the 80s and 90s.

Ahh this would have given so many options for the guests of the Met Costume Gala!!

 

[Alejandro]

^ there's always next year, baby!

 

[modeldom]

The detail on the clothes are so amazing.
This collection is so inspired....

Yeah, if they stick to the theme of Superheroes that no one seemed to get.

I like that instead of just using gros point lace as a repeat fabric (à la Prada), on some dresses he made it 'come to life'... like in this piece, it's as if the lace had melted on the woman's body shape.

I liked this collection. Much better than RTW and the previous Spring.
