I like the idea but no so much the actual pieces.

absolutely incredible in my opinion!. the sheer fabrics...the use of little details like the fringe, the metal studs and the wood pieces...the colour palette, the layering... it is all fantastic! i love the fit of the pieces and those wooden bangles too...

there is so a perfect amount of restraint being exercised here imo...everything looks flawless and there are so many interesting details and accessories but nothing is overdone.... the quality looks beautiful - i am really impressed..

I think hes one of the most interesting designers to emerge out of London Fashion week.

I see African inspiration in this and I wish he used the fringe more.

Some of it is really good but the end is a bit matronly.

He's talented nonentheless and I predict he'll be at the helm of some big house in the future

i KINDA like this collection,looks a bit mysterious & futuristic.
every cream piece is stunning.

kind of similar approach in aesthetics as his compatriot katarzyna szczotarska. although this is a definitely more directed toward evening.

I don't know if this bothers anyone else, but a lot of these collections I see from NYFW and LFW are based on trimmings - fringes, feathers, pailletes, studs, origami pieces of decoration. It's a very "Etsy" kind of approach, I mean, Etsy is great, little bits and pieces added on to basic shapes can beautiful, but designers need to go a level further to strike at the imagination. This is "drawing board" design vs. actually working on the clothes on a mannequin form, i.e. you sketch out the pattern and it almost completely translate into 3D. There's no sculpting involve, or working out shapes or colour or material collages 3 dimensionally.

For example, the peplum is back but a lot of designers just add on a little skirt thing to the nip-waist. A truly good designer, like Thierry Mugler, would cut up some curved seams and do an aerodynamic peplum with an interesting shape. It takes a lot more thinking and skills to do it, but this is what elevates the designer to designer status.
