Hmm. . . I didn't know he did that. Not very original, if you ask me. Hussein Chalayan did that a few seasons ago and tried to pass it off as a genuine idea but the Japanese have been doing that stuff since the 90's.

wasnt that red dress in spring 04 #13 in nylon a couple issues ago? he buried it in his backyard to make it look stained and stuff? the collection was based on a murderer in england, right?
just to add...carpe diem's whole aesthetic is based on distressing and burying clothes...so it's definitely not original...
and while the clothes may be cute...they are awfully juvenile...hard for a grown woman to wear without looking foolish and that's who can usually afford these clothes...so it's tricky...barney's seems to have invested heavily in lanvin this season...a collection that pretty much looks amazing on everyone...whatever their age or body type...which translates into bigger sales...
and a safer bet...
maybe of he can hold on he'll be picked up when things turn around a bit...i can see kirna zabete carrying it...they take risks...
