...But I dunno. I'm a little bit torn on the overall heaviness of it. I like darkly things and he's always had a dark vein about his work but there's something missing from what I see here. Maybe a lack of whimsy?? Seems a little bit too depressing and sad. But I do like the coat I see. Hopefully,there's more.

Maybe alittle too dark and broody in a way. Also it has a touch of galliano feel to it as well, I don't know how to put it but I'm interested in seeing the whole collection ofcoz

PARIS, February 27, 2006 – What is it about models’ faces that designers want to hide? First Viktor & Rolf had their girls don fencing masks; then, later at La Cigale, Undercover’s Jun Takahashi shrouded his in pierced, studded, and chain-covered headdresses that evoked medieval armor (as well as—a shade more sinisterly—prisoners in hoods). While they were in keeping with the wrapping and bandaging motifs that held together such dissimilar looks as knit tuxedo jackets and inside-out parkas, the masks were ultimately a distraction, and they even caused a few of the anonymous mannequins to stumble blindly into the audience. Luckily, though, the punk theatrics didn't entirely conceal the fact that the Tokyo-based Takahashi had come up with some deceptively commercial clothes.
Take, for starters, a creamy silk camisole with ruffle streamers descending both sides of the torso, a camel jacket with frogging decorating the front placket, cuffs, and rear vent, or an asymmetric tiered black chiffon shirt. In a season of protective layering, Takahashi proved himself a virtuoso here. What looked like a sweater casually thrown over a shoulder revealed itself to be a bolero. Later, the iridescent feathers of a cocoon top parted to display a down-to-earth puffer vest. Other pieces were even more playful. A leather stole morphed into a chain-handled coin purse that perched below the shoulder, and a spiral-seamed dress was embellished with chandelier-size crystals, which will make it tricky to sit still. Not that this energetic designer has that on his agenda.

Totally don't understand what he's doing.
Again he has done some weid things with a so-called cool theme.
Just cover models' faces and make somebody feel interested.
Totally ugly indeed. Those furs on the coats are meaningless.
The collection is like some student's graduation products. Totally not appreciate.

I'm having a bit of a love/hate thing going on with this collection. It's eerily elegant. But I don't think the average woman would have the balls to go to a place this dark and depressing. I guess I can only assess each piece in its own context and there are some lovely pieces - some nice skirts and coats. Despite the heavy atmosphere and feeling of dark foreboding, some pieces are quite soft and wearable like the silk camisole.
