I kinda feel bad for not loving this as much as you all love it….
First of all, I need that soundtrack for my morning routines (exercises, skincare…everything)!
This is a good collection. There’s this ongoing balance between Art and Commerce. The most challenging propositions are balanced with a desirable bag and the shoes maybe are that touch for the women who aren’t daring enough.
The CDG inspired pieces in the beginning were kind of « Off » for me. I think he could have manipulated the textiles in a more interesting way…
This is maybe his most « JWA » collection…His most personal some would say. All the « pretentious » ideas and concepts of his early days are now digested and supported by a real technical expertise in terms of clothes making.
I like Loewe, I’m a customer so maybe, I’m still hungry for clothes to wear after this collection. It’s definitely interesting, worthy to buy to stand out in a event but I’ve always felt that JWA is a much more impressive « commercial » designer that he would claim or love to admit.
For me, FW 2016 will remain his best ever collection at Loewe. That being said, I’m excited for what is next…Because now, he had the atelier and eye to really execute his ideas to the fullest.
Loewe worked harder this time to make them realize how useless they are.
You knows your classics…lol.
