Lookbooks does more for his work than whatever he tried to do with the presentations in a Haussmann setting!

I like RVDK. He is obviously skilled and his aesthetic kinda reminds me of Christophe Decarnin. And on paper, that kind of Upcycling Couture, in his hands, can become desirable.

That being said, this collection is not it for me. There’s a consistency in the silhouettes that he master very well (pencil skirt look, bell bottoms pants looks, minidresses…etc) but the fabrics or the prints makes it hardly digestible.

I would love to see what he can do with more editing in terms of fabrics and colors.

I think he could be better at Azzaro than Olivier for example. And furthermore, I would love for Gaultier to invite him as a guest designer for Couture.
