most of the dresses are great, as usual...
the dresses make the best use of the fun prints on the textiles, imo...

but the look that i am drawn to most is the one with the yellow pants...
i don't love the colours necessarily...
but i really like that silhouette---it looks very much like something i would wear...
cropped banded pants with a boxy jkt...
plus- it has the forest parade scarf, which i adore endlessly...


many thanks to you for posting the collection photos runner!!!...

you're welcome softgrey
ahh I see a little bit of your limi jacket and y-3's in the yellow pants look.
my fave piece is the long vest/v-necked dress in #3.
it looks like it has something abstractly avian in some way.
it may be good if it comes in anthracite.

yes- maybe the limi jacket...
also the grey knit CDG jacket...also a light grey marni jacket i have...
i also have recently gotten some more knit pants...
so, yes, it's very me in terms of the shapes...


i see what you mean about the long vest/dress...
i suppose it can give the feeling of feathers...

*i had a sweater with that sort of 'furry' look in the 80's...
i think it was betsy johnson...
it was commented on by too many people saying that i looked like a hairy gorilla!
......

since then, i cannot like that sort of knit as much anymore...
childhood trauma!

I really like the silhouette in the collection as a whole.
Love those first two dresses, they feel sort of 1920's mother, but work because of the age of the wearer.
Really sweet, and great to see something more relaxed, freer.

like a hairy gorilla!

nani! they should have said at least like a monchhichi.
