As Spring/Summer 2009 collections come to an end, it's time to reflect on the goods, the bads, and the downright uglies

Share your thoughts

Personally, I'll have to go through all

 

[mr.seena]

best shows in terms of clothing were limi feu and yohji (not surprising)

worst was hermes.

margiela always puts on a good show as well

 

[The.Rock.Inc.]

Best: Dries van Noten, Haider Ackermann, Yohji Yamamoto, Jil Sander, Rodarte, Louise Goldin...

Worst: Dior, Zac Posen, Gucci, Giles Deacon, Benjamin Cho

There are also a few that I feel ''not their best, but I still like it'':
Burberry, Giambattista Valli, Derek Lam

Oh at first it was much better than last season.
Of course first of all the best collection was for me Versace.
The biggest disappointment was Chloe.

[Mr-Dale]

I think my two favorite collections are Louis Vuitton and Alexander McQueen Also I digged Prada, Valentino and John Galliano. But I think that I will remember this show season the most as the season of shoes. There were some really amazing shoes this season which just let you gasping for air while looking at them. Cases in point:

Christian Dior

Prada

Louis Vuitton

John Galliano

Alexander McQueen

Burberry Prorsum

Proenza Schouler

I could go on forever, but I think you got my point...the shoes were on fire this season
