Oh wow, looks like they are taking the blood-splatter clothing even more literally than Rodarte did. The coat looks brilliant. I am intrigued.

you know what this reminds me of....olivier theyskens' early stuff(not a shallow comparison either) and a nod to Jurgi Persoons as well....but with his own spin which i appreciate. all that corsetry,hook & eye closures and that stained-to-age look.....it's beautifully unsettling and romantic.

 

[MulletProof]

I definitely see a Jurgi aura in this, Scott. And I love how his collections have been slowly getting more conceptual and stronger every season..

As expected, I completely love it The boots are incredible and his tailoring is always so wonderful. I just love all the dresses and blazers but the cut-out blouses and pants are simply to die for. I want it all

Nicolas's in his finest form, I love this It's so omnious, Theyskens-Thimister vibe but very true to his start.

Thank you for posting, Mullet

Very good - not sure if anyone will actually wear the blood-stained stuff(?), but it made for an interesting story.

I was thinking highwaymen.

Nice boots, too!

how borring...fabric doesn't look good

The flowing pieces remind me so much of Rodarte!
This collection is pretty much dead for me. I don't get any feeling looking at this :S

Loving it. Sex, death, elegance, victoriana. Dundas take note on how to work those themes.

Loving the tabards, the outerwear, the half-topped jumpsuit, the jabotesque scarves, the shirt-dresses for both homme and femme, the sheer numbers, the cut-away pockets, all of it really.

I have two slight qualms. Firstly, whilst I like the idea of a patina, I wasn't wholly sold on the blood splattering. It made me think too much of the Ripper mysteries so came out feeling an iota themey.

Secondly, it's a very wearable offering and I hope the buyers are being attracted, but there's a lot of strong competition in this part of the market and I'd like to see Nicolas push his conceptualism further, really astound us and make a bigger name for himself. I think he can, he's very talented, so I'd like to see him really go for it and throw caution to the wind next time.
