What's your favourite RTW collection season of all time?

[nationalsalt]

Mine is probably Fall 2007; there were stellar collections from Prada, Dior, Galliano, Balenciaga, Nina Ricci and Christian Lacroix to name just a few. My only slight let down was McQueen - I didn't think his Salem Witches collection was his strongest.

Which season stands out as a great one to you?

2006 FW

I think the seasons between 2005-2008 were the best IMO, the designers were really pushing themselves in terms of creativity, silhouette, design and fabrications

It's hard to choose any out of those, but personally I'd have to say probably 2007. I loved all the futurism the designers played around with!

Agreed, especially re: fabrications! Looking at recent seasons, it feels like far fewer designers are pushing the boundaries in terms of textiles anymore and everything is a lot plainer. Alas...

2006 FW

Any particular shows?

From 2006 to 2008 : Prada, Miu Miu, Balenciaga, Dior, Versace and many more were at their best.

It was the best period to fall in love of Fashion.

Anything from 2005 FW to SS 2009.

It's so true! I hadn't quite put 2+2 together, but that's been my problem with the majority of designers these days (beyond everyone copying Philo lol), is how flat everything feels.

Prada especially back in the day, those waxed knits and metallic jacquards from Fall 2007 were perfection hell even Raf's work for Jil Sander was good during those years, I still revisit the Tulle collection of S/S 2008 quite often.
