Les Hommes Men A/W 07.08 Milan

For the most part I think this is a gorgeous collection. Loads of great,quality pieces. And Bart and Tom included women here this season as well. Both have worked with women before,strictly,in their final year collections at the Academy,so they know a thing or two. But I digress....love how they did their tailored jackets with knitted lapels. A couple things,due to the styling,do resemble something Diddy would wear,unfortunately.

Very nice for the most part. I like the equestrian boots and how they are paired. I do agree with Scott on the styling, unfortunately. The womenswear seems very period. Not really a fan of it.

Very classical pieces.. I would wear some of it thrown together with something more "streety" and "wearable" for contrast though. Very nice boots.

Horrendous. Looks like Versace for goths.

Thanks for posting this Scott.

I don't like all the heavy historical references. The applied sensibilities lack the finesse required to make it appropriate or contemporary. There's not much modern appeal and it comes off very costumey. It's the kind of thing Mcqueen at his worst delves too deep into (but has not been trapped by this season).

I guess it has all the season's trends but somehow it feels dated, I've seen this all dozens of times before. Not their best collection.

Love it Love it Love it.

Noir, a little unoriginal but hey...it's damn shexy

 

[BerlinRocks]

i like it... it makes me wanna ride my horse.... but he's far now... missing you pompom...

 

[Scott]

actually,i think it's nice to see them evolving. it's definitely a better direction away from the Dior Homme claptrap they were kind of playing before.

^you're welcome

Hmm..looking at their shows is always so tiring cause I need to take each piece a million miles away from the awful styling and construct an entirely different environment surrounding it to forget the bad memories.. they need someone to fix that, pronto.

i like the use of equestrian boots as some have pointed out. the clothes are not bad. but nothing special overall.

 

[Scott]

yeah,i don't quite understand how come their styling is always is a bit off-putting. I remember when they both individually put together some pretty strong,exciting collections at school.

Like only this coat (nice one), nothing else..
