The leopard print belongs solely on leopards. No one, not even Dries can make it work. The rest is cool.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Yeah I blocked the leopard out entirely -- though I like the one coat with the distended / manipulated pattern in muted brown, I wish he'd gone more in that direction with the animal prints.
Something about Dries fascinates me -- I can't stand some of the themes and aesthetics he works with and yet altogether the effect is powerful (half the year at least).

I agree with the leopard print, it's probably impossible not to make it look like kitsch. But Dries is here as close as you probably can get to non-kitsch.
As a whole the collection is beautifully executed. I sometimes feel he gets out of hand with prints and embroidery, but here it's so balanced and almost sacral.
The purple nuance and the midnight blue shades are divine.
Well done.
