So many references, so many designer inspired looks (....Dior....), so many styles, so many different types of women, oh well....
Some looks were great but his references are too similar with the brands he's inspired to make his collections.

It has a strong Prada and Dior scent. Shoes, sunglasses, prints and colors. It isn't bad though but the makeup is hideous.

What happened here? I came to see a butt-ugly collection, not a decent, poetic one! This is improvement, I'm impressed.
(Though I did get some doozies, like a blotchy black and red sweater and a dress with dangling feather spots; and if I said this was Marc Jacobs or Miu Miu, no one would even notice the difference. And hideous lipstick colors, as the user above me kindly pointed.)

very Dior, and very literal so. I mean I love his reference, but it's just a tad too obvious....

I agree, it's overly sweet. I feel overdosed!

Even the hair and make-up are Dior! Slicked back shiny hair, a strong lipstick color (in this case a very unfortunate color ), and the rest of the face looking natural.

Way too 1950s Dior a la Raf Simons.
Some of the satin skirt suits actually do look good but this whole collection just look TOO literally inspired by Dior and a bit of Prada.

 

[disco54]

But the sl*tty Miami Vice make up is not inspired haha, and again hideous shoes.

Quite Dior-ish but still lovely

 

[daggertrepe]

This actually struck me as too Prada-ish..

 

[Morphe]

^ I second the Prada vibe. More like a Prada rip-off tbh.

 

[jeanclaude]

Prabal or Prada?? And some little touches of Raf Simons´s Dior here and there...

 

[jmrmartinho]

Dior, Prada, Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs...OMG this is so all over the place.
Awful colection.

 

[Deleted member 116819]

Ohhhh and long flared skirts like Givenchy's Fall-Winter 2013/14 show!

I think Prabal can do some great clothes, like thoose lavender trousers that appeared in the first 10 looks (I guess?!), and one dress that was so beautiful IMO, I'm talking about the one that Grace Mahary was wearing! The 2 best items of this show for me!

 

[Deleted member 116819]

For me the most obvious references are Prada Mens Spring-Summer 2013, Miu Miu Spring-Summer 2013, and Raf's work for Dior in every aspect (from shoes, to silhouettes, make-up, hair...)!

I don't think it's awful, he can do great work, but he's too literal! It's like a reference parade of other designers work!

 

[Prairie]

I'm a bit confused. While Dior and Prada references are undeniable, I can't help falling in love with some pieces.

 

[Versace-Goddess]

i see here Dior, Prada, Christopher Kane- and where are their own ideas?
