As of now he truly is in a league of his own. Only show that has captivated me so far and made me want to shop. Right away!
I think the choreography was way better executed this time. The difference in cadence paired with the (great) music had a fantatsic effect. He found a way to not compromise his effect while still stimulating short attention span. I aslo believe the movement direction helps make the presantation feel more alive. I loved the set, absolutely loved the cast and their aplomb. It was magnificently orchestrated. You could feel the tension and that the audience was buzzing too.
It is indeed aspirational, it's intimidating, it's enticing; And it is cinematic without being charicatural. Here the coldness works so well cause it is control not rejection. It is confidence without being deminishing which makes it somehow inviting cause so sultry.
And nothing overshadows the real star of the show: the garments.
The clothes are truly phenomenal!! No one else is cutting a suit like him, right now. No one honestly. All of them are nasty work! wow. We are drowning in a sea of shapeless, tasteless, sexless and bland clothes. Clothes are so wellc cut here, it feels like a beacon of hope.
I especially adored the fact the eveningwear was so succint, just these two fabulous black numbers and basically nothing else. It makes one want more, but it also makes those dresses feel even more desireable. It was more commercial than his two previous collections, but done so well. We are not being forced some random products that have nothig to do with the collection. It is all connected, it all tells the same story.
Though I am still not a fan of his bags+ at first the denim confused me a bit. I did enjoy how it kinda broke the seriousness. And it showed versatility without doing too much.
Truly sooo good!! From start to finish. Menswear and womenswear, both exceptional. Such a delight to see a designer who makes both elevate each other.
