A.F. Vandevorst F/W 07-08

[laika]

A very strong collection from them, in my opinion. I see a lot here from their past collections, but they've pulled it together in a completely new way. Am very happy to see that they got the lingerie references under control! The lace, the knits, the shaggy fur all look lovely here. And I think I will die if I cannot have the red dress in post 3. [:$]

Wow, that IS a strong collection, their best in the past few seasons for sure. I like everything except the printed dresses. The boots look awesome as always. I like that they kept the lacey stuff w/out a strong underwear as outerwear stuff.

Laika, the red dress is a total killer. [51]

This is all very pretty. Will going out without your skirt on be big next winter? I hope so.

I also really like the A-line skirt in the very first look.

dontbecruel, going about without your skirt on is already a trend here, unfortunately. I'm not sure you'd like it as much if you had to see it on the streets everyday. That first look you mentioned is very sexy librarian, no? I love it.

Faust, so glad you like it too! I completely agree about the lace--I almost never like it, but they made it look so pretty here, even the hosiery. The vest/armor type tops remind be a bit of your Dirk S. thing from waywt....

I'm going to dream about that dress tonight, lol.

Very strong collection! Between this, Demeulemeester, Margiela and Watanabe this has been the best night of my week.

My turn to agree with you Servo! All four designers you mentioned have been really great.
I really like this collection, it strikes me as very sexy and smart. I really like this dress (and whole look), it is both trashy and beautiful, if that makes any sense...

Also, the red dress, Laika, is awesome.

Some detail shots, courtesy of mulletproof at tfs. This is just looking better and better!

Vests and pleated skirts--two of my favorite things. [:)]

Cozy knits (and I love the make up!)

Re: A.F. Vandevorst F/W 07-08



Really beautiful details on this shirt. Also a very bizarre, almost talisman-like necklace. [:|]

The "trashy and beautiful" dress [U]

Re: A.F. Vandevorst F/W 07-08

Thanks for the detail shots. I really like this more and more. I like the make up too, so romantic.

I really like the "trashy and beautiful" dress too [51] (why is it trashy and beautiful by the way? I think it looks very sweet [:D]) I like how it pleated vertically and flared out under the arm with the white collar andstrap details. It's lovely.

Buckwheat, those are Seventh's words (see post above). I thought it was a very good description. It's ever so slightly lingerie-like; and yes, very swet.
