hmmm....i dunno where to look really. a bit dizzy. seems to go from one point to a sharply different perspective. not really the most cohesive.

Does one really need three fittings for a purple kaftan?

 

[Spike413]

A lot of this begs the question "is this really couture?"

The best thing is the stringy knee high gladiator sandals.

^ I particularly like the last picture of the gladiator sandals. Very striking.

I'm no judge of what is or isn't haute couture, but compared to what Eymeric François presented this year....

thanks for posting the collection!

It's not coherent and is all over the place but like gius said, some incredible fabric there. Quite beautiful, intricate work and not the usual embroidery. Looks like a collection of cocoons, some of them exquisite.

A bit messy-looking, IMO.

I thought so too.

 

[larien]

i only liked the shoes

I love the gladiator shoes.
Also, I like the use of the purple and blue gradient.

gius (and any others who are interested in the material construction technique), I really like the way the b/w prints on the fabric is played up and given another dimension with the working of textures, fluttering "pages" for the skirt and the knitted/woven fabric effect for the cocoon top. It makes the garment more vivid and alive. The other olive green flutter "pages" cocoon is, on the other hand, horrid.
