Too much of this is just standard rivethead/goth stuff. Well made I'm sure, but the references are way too literal, just like the 'Axl Rose' collection.
 
I like this a lot as a customer. There are a lot of pieces I would buy and wear immediately. But as a collection, it looks like (as someone else posted before) too much of what we've seen from others before from Cloak and Raf Simons (that hoodie cape in particular), amon others. But knowing Taka's quality workmanship, I KNOW it will be better made than Cloak and Raf Simons, both of whom have had spotty production issues. Taka's production has always been impeccable, and consequiently, his prices are commensurately high. I guess I'll be saving up...!
 
YES! I love this collection...I'd totally wear some of this stuff. This is probably the best mens collection I've seen of the entire season thus far...classic Number (N)ine, I'm glad it went back to the dark basics after a couple seasons of weird experimentation. Guess it's time for me to start saving up too.

Oh, the quality is really great eh? Hmm, then I suppose the lack of 'newness' doesn't bother me as much.
 
I have a feeling this collection is gonna be priced out of this world. The hype's kinda settled in, I still like this collection a lot but I wouldn't say it's better than Yohji's, there was more freshness in that one with the cut of his blazers that he experimented with. Still, this is an excellent, dark collection and a good 'greatest hits' package for fans of old Dior/Cloak/Simons/etc...

This is VERY Dior Homme/Raf Simons and a lot of Cloak too. There are even some extremely blatant copies all over this collection (although I don't know who copied who - or if anyone even copied the other....my guess is the latter).

I still love this collection and would wear almost all of it. It's beautiful. :wub:

Thankyou, beetlejuice, for taking the time to post all these pictures! :flower:
 
nice, i'd really wear all of this (as if i could afford it, lol)... i specifically love this jacket, and the wraparound hoodie sweater thing

Decent, but nothing special. and this is coming from a big Number (N)ine, Undercover etc head.

the cape hoodie and the outfit with the tie is interesting and would probably be fun to wear though
