Nicolas Andreas Taralis swapped catwalk for digital screen to present his pristine spring collection. “It’s a little voilé, but I needed new energy,” he explained before mingling with the crowd that turned out at the pitch-dark screening room to watch the video. “I feel like I’m in a transitional period, which is reflected in the collection.”

Taking cues from artist Gordon Matta-Clark, Taralis cut and recut pieces to produce an elegant city wardrobe kept sober in white and black. At the fore were hybrids, such as a dress that married pants, skirt and open-back top, all seemingly cut from one piece.

Overall, the collection felt lighter and more straightforward than in previous seasons.

i really love the mood of the whole collection. i love that he's taken a more elegant and straightforward approach without compromising his aesthete.

This is the first time he has really let me down. I find this utterly boring. The fact that he didn't have a proper runway show doesn't help either, this looks all washed out and stale The few things I do like (last look in post #2, 6th look in post #3) are nothing new and he's been doing those repeatedly anyway. Definitely not his strongest effort, IMO.

Strong, sleek and fearless.

The guy's looks are particularly hot although obviously there is a decidedly androgynous slant to the whole collection.

I want that final black suit!!!
