    I like crazy Italo-trash Prorsum, not this restrained bullshit.

    This collection is missing python and spikes.

      I agree, I miss the more flamboyant, punk/military looks of past collections. It seems like a different direction. I also preferred when he used a muted color palette unike this one.

      Still, I did enjoy this show.

      Thanks for sharing JoniF!

          aside from a couple of looks later on, the first thing that came to mind was that they are trying to do something they really don't know. the change in aesthetic from 09-10 is pretty massive

            I'll have to say I'm not a fan of this collection as a whole, but I think the colors and silhouettes translate better for the woman's collection rather than the men's collection.

              totally agree with lowrey. it's total shit, and I can't understand how the guy who did that lovely cumpled gardner collection a few summers ago can produce this cack (and the even worse cack currently hitting the racks). This show was attended by countless celebs, live streamed and shown on a big sceen in the centre of london. mega brand/mega-shite.

                Because he has no coherent aesthetic voice.

                Anyone get the 50's Chelsea girls feeling from the first batch?

                  ^do you mean 60's, Faust? that's what came to my mind...

                  I like some of the silhouettes here, specifically the long skinny trousers,
                  but the combination of these with the popping colors and overt Balenciaga references makes this far too retro and literal for me. noooo thanks.

                    Maybe I'm getting old but I can't get over how disturbingly thin some of the models look.
                    I find it difficult to look at.
