The 06 Fall collection for women is one of my favorite collections. Just stunning.Comment

Cheers Faust and thanks NDF, so he has discontinued his own menswear line (and is only doing Boss for men)? I'm echoing others that it is great to see how his work has developed. Does anyone have information about his ideas / influences for the different seasons? I vaguely remember that he mentioned that he was looking at Dutch/Flemish portraits for the 06 fall collection (I searched for the thread, but couldn't find it). I guess I am interested in his sources of reference for his tailoring, which seems so determined and specific.Comment
