Preen FW06/07 - London

[Faust]

Preen, along with Jens Laugensen and Peter Jensen are the ones I always watch. Not crazy about this, and overall I am getting a very strong Helmut Lang vibe coming out of London this season. This is Helmut meets Chalayan.

its a shame they don't have a better grasp on quality control. some of the pieces have an uncanny resemblence to helmut's older work...

I agree, their fabrics are crap.

The color palette and the hose--[+o(]

I know a lot of people who like Chalayan also like this, and frankly, it often looks similar enough to be called derivative. What I love about Chalayan though, is how he starts from a concept and tells a story about it. This is just so empty by comparison.

The poor quality just makes me mad.

I see a lot of Nicholas Ghesquire as well as Chalayan in this, especially with those padded shoulders.

I remember when you could look to Preen for a good idea or two but this is all just so generic, not well thought out, and from what I understand the execution is far from desireable.
