A few promising looks with hints of Ann D and Rick Owens though

It actually looks very much like Damir Doma

This is the best place for KVA in my opinion! It's time to get off dior's hook!

Really love the styling and the usual the goth/indie vide from the collection.

Expecting more drapes, loose, and oversized. Can't wait to see more.

 

[JuiceMajor]

Oh bring on Raf Simons now

 

[Crying Diamonds]

Heart that tied leather waistcoat.

And the long-haired models are hot.

 

[kiddokiddo]

oh my, it is really the love child of Rick Owens and Damir Doma.
It is okay to move out of Dior Homme's shadow but why does he have to move under Rick Owens/Belgian gothic, dark romanticism's umbrella??

[Street_a_Licious]

surprisingly, i find myself liking that.

 

[Amelia]

I've been waiting for this like always, but I just like it. There are some pieces to die for, but also some I'd never stand- like some of pants..

 

[Casius]

I don't hate it. I guess for me, that's a step in the right direction (even though I'll probably forget about that after I see the mess that is now, Dior Homme).

 

[JordanB]

One of my favorites so far. I'm not usually a fan of his work but this has changed my mind. I love it.

 

[ilaughead]

I agree with Casius. It's not good, but it's much better than his other collections have been.

 

[simons]

agree with everyone, a lot better than his past.. does look a lot like other designer's work (probably why i like it anyways).

i don't think kva has a clear vision, i just don't get him aesthetic.

 

[rui]

my fave by Kris thus far.. never really found him all that interesting but this collection intrigues me. I agree that he should leave DIOR. Heidi was the only one for that job. IMO

 

[LP640]

I like this.

 

[Andymoon]

Mixed feelings here....

It is okay to move out of Dior Homme's shadow but why does he have to move under Rick Owens/Belgian gothic, dark romanticism's umbrella??

such a valid question this is! one, consciously or not, expects every label/designer to stick to a certain aesthetic which makes it/him stand out of the crowd. jumping from one bandwagon to another adds nothing but confusion. i loved this KVA's collection. but does it really reflects who KVA is and what he does? and if so, what does it tell about him?

 

[TraiT]

I can see the resemblance of the designers mentioned, but I think KVA has always been loving his "bad boy" aesthetics don't he? Correct me if i'm wrong though...
