I wish she were standing a tad straighter so one could see and grasp the pieces a bit better, the blk. dress esp.

I've always found him talented while never desiring to own or wear any of of his pieces but this looks quite apt on a personal level. The cape (??) in picture 4 is great! As is the cropped jckt. and the jckt./shawl thing in picture 3. I am not too sure about the dresses... they don't look incredibly forgiving in some places though the inclination to chalk it up to the model's disservicing stances seems right.

Thanks, Scott!

the first two dresses!. I think I'm going to love this, I feel very biased towards his glass-cutting lines and the way he creates such elegant figures.. I hope he did red pieces in this collection as well.. since I've never seen a prettier shade than the one he uses.

yeah,i think you're right about that,mullet. perhaps something that influenced him at persoons.

wow...he just continues to impress me to no end...the less structural approach compared to his FW is so refreshing...I'm in love with the black dress. Hope to see more. Thanks for posting, Scott

Didn't he just do a short internship at Jurgi Persoons?

I find it really difficult seeing his influence on Matthew's work.

These outfits look better than last season's. Still I don't think it's so convincing.

^look at some of his first seasons. i think autumn 05 showcases alot of influences that i miss jurgi for....the cutting...the tailoring...that kind of geometry that underlied jurgi's work. they style is much different of course,but in the techniques,you can certainly see kindred connections.

i think matthew was there for two or three seasons. it was short but from what i've read of his CV and bio,it is counted as his more prominent work experience.

quite nice
i think there's a lot more movement in his clothes this season
less strict and frozen than last's
it would be neat to see it in motion
