These shows are labeled wrong. Couture isn't on Spring 2011 it's on Fall 2011

Im getting tired of the Squares, whats new

 

[markese91]

Margiela died when Margiela retired. This German assistant of him can not do this right...

From those 6 pix - it's something really, really, really unbelievably ugly that pretends to be clothes. Plus the weaving looks like made out of polyethylene bags mixed with kitchen curtains. Is not avant garde, is just lazy and cheap.
I haven't seen anything that justifies any kind presentation from MM in the last ~5 years, they should just send the pics straight to Haus of Gaga and spare the rest of us; there are enough such designers that pretend to be artists already. They bore me to death and so do the pretentious people who wear them.

what in pink feather boa purgatory is that?

 

[apriliciate]

i already imagine between nicki minaj or lady gaga will wear this collection!

... Fall doesn't come before spring?

Couture shows are shown right before the season starts. The clothes go in production immediately (if they are ordered). Whereas with RTW, they only hit the racks half a year later. Hence the difference between Spring/Fall labels

On topic of the clothes, the squarestuff isn't that good, although i'm interested in the materials they used this time. Want to see more.

i need to see more .... doesn't look too good so far....

erm...no. is the HC turning into circus or what? what was once a very clever,very thoughtful idea from the master has turned into something quite atrocious. i don't see that unabashed sense of craft here anymore just gimmicks.

... Fall doesn't come before spring?

Couture collections are presented immediately before the season they refer to. FW11 will be presented only when fall 2011 is about to begin, in June.

What...the...fu*k? Those pieces look like stage costumes. How awful.

 

[MyNameIs]

After that stunning SS11 collection this is a big WTF. I'll wait to see the full collection before making any judgments but I'm not understanding what's happening there.

 

[ettebe]

One of the pieces looks like a pink gorilla suit.

 

[Donatello89]

look nice by now !!!

 

[afterrhours]

Looks atrocious really. I have the MMM book right now and his designs were far better than this, in another league.

^'0 artisanal'(when it was still referred as such) was absolutely astounding...never ceased to take my breath away. it was certainly experimental in it's use of materials but it had so much soul and so much poetry about it.

this,just seems like a pathetic attempt to garner publicity. which has actually been a running theme with MMM HC,of late. it's really quite disheartening actually because as soon as one begins to think perhaps they got their act together with the Pre-Autumn 11-12,they put this out. shame.
