really ugly apart from the white plastic jacket

 

[BBBBB]

Well, it's intentionally ugly if that helps any...

I'm a sucker for the JS-esthetique and liked most of this. Particularly the bright colors, billowing shorts, "digital-tapestry" knits and the black casual jacket with sloping sleeves near the end. Will look for them in the sales next year...

 

[tricotineacetat]

How seriously underwhelming. Most of her experiments with billowing volumes and use of print don't come up as particularly convincing, more like an attempt to give her menswear a more 'fashion' edge, next to the trendy Givenchy and Raf Simons signature collection... Which really isn't her audience, after all. It's a rather challenging line to balance, not to be remain too much in a classical comfort zone or on the other hand to go too much into obviously 'fashion'-y territory with the Jil Sander aesthetic. I don't think this is helping much to define the direction she sees for menswear, I'm afraid.

i actually really like this

the live stream is so much better than the pictures here, and they are adorable. I can see this getting a lot of exposure. the coral pink pants, big big love for them.

i love all the white pieces, especially the plastic looking ones, but when the prints, pink and orange hits in, the collection seems to fall flat...

 

[lelaid]

I really, really, really hate those shorts. I can't imagine them looking good on anyone, especially since they don't even look good on the models. What an underwhelming collection as a whole.

I can't help but to love those shorts despite how unflatttering in reality they might be for many men. They seem like a lot of fun since they're giving an impression of a skirt and are quite comfortable I imagine. For those skinny legged guys I think they're fantastic.
Prints are interesting but the color palette is just odd. Footwear's nice, though I wish she'd showcase some sandals in SS presentations.
Altogether it is such a weird deviation from the JS basis, I guess when you put each piece aside there's nothing so unusual about it, but as a whole the mood of the collection just fails to impress me.
