Surely something intriguing about this and it does hook me much harder than the past few seasons. Standouts include the all-green leather look, the layered looping tops and the braided carabiner slings.
Perhaps that intrigue is owed to the collection being more wearable off the runway than recent offerings, but overall there’s a blandness to the tailoring that doesn’t sit well with me as per usual. The organza certainly doesn’t help, nor does the scrotal elephantiasis pant style he can’t seem to leave behind at this mysterious affluent ditch-rave no one is invited to. The cropped jackets are sold in the merch booth there. The footwear is too much for me which is saying a lot; looks like someone tossed Vibskov, Y-3 and a plastic tonka truck in a blender.
I understand a presentation is a theatrical offering but it’s gotten tough for me to take seriously in his case. Always amusing to read his inspirations as well; I’m sure Rick will delve into this show being inspired by an obscure Lithuanian submarine opera from the 20s but it really just looks like Gigeresque Alien lines refit to cloth and coupled with aimlessly overdone silhouettes. I’ll have to investigate it in motion, but this period in his aesthetic doesn’t communicate any elegance to me.
