This is a strong collection, confirming what the two designers are standing for, slowly but steadily allowing for their business to develop in a direction that is both retail-friendly and press-covetable... a jump a lot of designers like Rodarte are missing dearly when observing their work from different angles other than the runway.
There's a consistancy within their work that I guess buyers and press are understanding and that informs their silhouette, play with drapery and also the right amount of conceptuality that allows for their aesthetic to feel particular, yet easy to pick up from. Highlights to me definitely are the more heavy-texture knit leggings, the jogging/suit pant hybrids as well as those long-haired shearling jackets. I also much enjoyed the belted silhouettes and the simple, draped silk top on Hanne and their precise colour direction.
What could be seen as a fact of criticism would be that they largely kept with their silhouette from seasons past - the either needle-thin or pleated wide leg pants (both always featuring a very flattering cut), worn with cropped suit jackets - It also doesn't help that certain styles are repeated a few times too often for my taste on the runway (in this season's case, the drummer boy jacket with metal buttons) but that's forgiven as their collections tend to be small and it would otherwise make it difficult to fill a runway show with enough outfits.
