Finally, Theyskens adds some BACKBONE to his fairy-like creations and it works, though not for every look. The Mugler/Montana influences are really good for him, giving strength, structure and shape to his previous amorphous, ethereal, watery and "trail-ly" collections for Ninna Ricci. It works particularly well in THAT black dress, where the long and short lengths of the skirt flounce and whirl around in a couture-worthy spiral.
I even love the shoes, the platform glittery ones, though the ones with the truncated stilhettoes are stupid rather than "surrealist".
Pity he's leaving, as he is showing some maturity in his work finally.

I'm also wondering how much of an impact those hideous shoes are making on my impression of the collection.
