There was a time when RVDK was my fav. That time is long gone...

I met Ronald before and he is SUCH a lovely man. Really a sweetheart, honestly. I want to like these pieces so bad because of that, but ... it's difficult to. I am not sure what it is. I do love the first two looks for some reason, but that's about it. Sorry Ronald

I only like the orange dress, the patchwork of prints verges on clown clothes.

Couture or a wardrobe for "Le Cirque du Soleil"? I am not sure...

What a nice collection edit for.....Vogue Thailand!
I do like the first shot though. Will likely end up on my screensaver.

I like the first look, and also the red suit in #8 is very nice. I would say overall, the whole collection is not memorable at all besides those two looks.

I do love the first shot though.. & agree with @Benn98...definitely screensaver material!!

It’s definitely endearingly salvageable. I see where his heart is.

If I’m feeling generous, I see the rich rich rich eccentric whom possesses a moment of Faith Connexion/Gianni’s Versace gaudiness in all the glittering ragtag pieces. And in the next moment, is in a mood for classic lady-like Dior New Look couture. There’s a certain charm in the strongest pieces that’s in line with sustainability in all the rich Mad-Hatter’s recycled patchwork— and also very traditionally couture-y in their production: It doesn’t look cheap overall ( just a tad too tacky..). Clownish— yes, unfortunately (and even more unfortunate for the model that has to wear the silliest flagpole/IKEA table leg monstrosity…) This collection feels the most earnest and honest— and designed to be worn by a clientele, of all Couture collections so far.

(If the silly tween clown makeup-challenge looks was done away with and replaced by a clean, fresh face, the collection would already look a lot better.)

I kind of like this. There’s some passion and glamour and humor and fire here.
