It's nearly impossible to comment on his collections without mentioning all the obvious designer references... But since this is the first of his collections that I really like a lot I'll try not to draw any comparisons to other designers

I adore the color palette here. The prints are very nice. It looks modern and fresh. And it's always nice to see a designer do futuristic looks that aren't completely unflattering and make you look like a shapeless robot. I think he did a great job with the silhouettes.

This really isn't bad at all. Decent effort for a pre-collection. The blatant copying in the both the design & styling is the only flaw here, IMO.

He's very talented. I do feel this effort to be slightly less sophisticated than usual, but it's good nonetheless.

I guess some could compare this to Celine or Balenciaga (the two have sort of joined into one universe as of late) but he's been on this formal futurist track since his debut, and considering its virtuosity and strength, its is a realm that Pedro has as much right to move in as Phoebe or Nicholas.

For such a minimal, colour-blocking designer, with a famous designer father, there are quite a few wonky seams in quite significant places.
It's different and it's minimal, which is usually my cup of tea, but I don't feel this much. Maybe I'm tired of robotics?

What a clean and neat collection. The color palette is right up my alley, soft and basic colors. And I love the landscapes, they are a nice touch. How he handled the brown fur is odd to me though. The real showstopper for me is that rose ombré coat. Gorgeous!

The problem that I have with this collection is that, despite that it looks very current, I have already seen this.

After a Spring show that received mixed reviews—critics applauded his ambition but questioned the wearability/price ratio—Pedro Lourenço spent some time identifying exactly what constitutes his young brand's DNA. Here's what he came up with: classics with a surprise. That doesn't necessarily jibe with what he put on his recent Paris runway, but it pretty well sums up the Resort collection currently enjoying a very strong sell-through at Barneys, and it's a good description of his pre-fall outing, too.

At 21, Lourenco is already a masterful technician; there's a precision to his shifts, blazers, and double-waistband pants that seems almost mathematical. The aforementioned twist came through this season via prints and embellishments, both inspired by Patagonia. Photorealistic images of glaciers and mountains were inset onto the front of sleeveless shells and dresses, and dégradé shades of blue and peach, as if the colors were almost frostbitten, were used for minimal jackets and coats. As for the fur that decorated a leather shirt, it's not fur at all but mohair yarn treated to look like the real thing. Retailers will approve of the wearability/price ratio of that.
