I agree with everything you said. I love sacai and always will be an advocate for Chitose Abe as a designer but like you, I can't really get in with most of the overtly girly stuff she likes to do... I think her work would be arguably more well-received if she'd edit some of the frills out a bit more. but then again, perhaps the flair is the appeal for most of her clientele, who knows! but in the end, yes, definitely a good collection and she definitely deserves more praise and recognition!This collection deserves a lot more attention here. There are really exquisite pieces here. The skirts have managed the trick of marrying lightness with gravity! Honestly, though, I could have done without the stripes (the paisley and plaid would have injected enough playfulness in the proceedings) but overall I love the contrast between billowing shapes and structure cinched together. Great work in need of more press
