I typically leave the JC report-reports to Faust, but this particular designer caught my eye, for one reason or another. I largely attribute it to my current fascination with everything primarily in black and white, but there's other aspects to it as well. I can't say that I have yet to examine his older work, and all I know about the man is what I've gleamed from the article.
A couple of images from his current collection, not necessarily my favorite, per say, but that jumped out at me:
Good shot of the lace that is pervasive in the current collection.
Love the 3D black elements on the upper portions of this piece!
Good example of the hats that are also throughout the show, and my favorite hat (so far), as well as showing " a feeling of a whimsical '20s influence speckled with a youthful irreverence where anything goes."
The only thing that's bothering me is that he did an irritatingly good job of basically doing a couple of pieces almost precisely similiar to the menswear "collection" that I've been designing / illustrating and was planning to start working on constructing soon. The 3D accessories on the shirt, the 1920's hats in black, etc... It's really strange how similiar it is. He executes them considerably better (although I actually prefer my design of the hats a little better, although I'm sure the execution / construction will be unimpressive on my part), especially the 3D accessory pieces.
