From what I've seen, at least there are a few nice pieces. (I kind of like the Star Wars dresses. ) The same couldn't have been said for their last few collections.

Still some pretty horrid stuff on show, though.

Thanks Marc10 for the post.

The Star Wars gowns... I think I love them just for having he balls to throw such ugliness out there.

 

[irvangemby]

what a mess.

I'm pretty sure they're done.

At least it's better than last season.

The light blue C-3PO dress is actually gorgeous. If only it didn't have the SW print. Same goes for the look before and after it.

I love it!

i like the 2 black gowns, 2 of the sparkly parkas (n.b. the ones without the cut out shoulders ), and the bits of crochet (the bra top, shrug and dress).

indeed, that crochet reminds me of the amazingly ropey knit pieces they used to do back at the start, and it makes me long for more of that kind of "hand made" look that rodarte did well.

personally, i don't like the star wars dresses. um no. too gimmicky for me.

there are some interesting ideas in this and i have to be honest i really kind of enjoy those cutout jackets but the culminating presentation to me is what's so poor and detracting. it looks like a bad anna sui collection ultimately. and those star wars prints are hilariously gimmicky….i would have much rather see them take a path similarly to what ghesquiere did with balenciaga in the late 90's with that influence…..not so literal. it would be nice to see them edit their ideas a bit more…i dunno if they're beginning to get sucked into their own hype but i remember when they could produce more concise concepts better than what they have for the past several seasons.

They had nowhere to go but up after last seasons disaster imo. This isn't perfect or even great, but there's some interesting ideas in here. Not seeing what Star Wars has to do with a anything though.

STAR WARS?? I love it! I would never wear it, but I love it.

Overall, this was very different for them and interesting to say the least.

I jumped off my seat when I saw those Star Wars printed gowns! I used to be a total Star Wars nerd in my early teen so you'll have to forgive me for that. They feel quite random, unless you're a Star Wars nerd and recognize the silhouettes in those cutout coat looks with the wool sweaters and turtlenecks. Very reminiscent of the choice apparel for the Rebellion in the original trilogy!

I'll come back here with a more opinionated response when I'm done fangirling

I enjoyed this collection, I'm so happy they are back to that whimsical dreamy collections they do so well. A lot of great ideas here.

 

[HeatherAnne]

They're so pretentious. I miss the old days when their collections didn't look like geeky arts & craft projects. Barf.

here we go again

 

[breebee]

... did Tavi Gevinson design this?

 

[StoneSkipper]

Oh dear Lord, it gets worse with every season. Those Star Wars gowns are the kind of thing that's so freaking ugly, that it goes full circle, breaks the boundaries of ugly, and goes back to being pretty. The whole collection is so random... It really bothers me how random and uncohesive the collection is. And it's so sparkly, too...
