Maybe Rei woke up from a 3 year long acid trip! [86]

[quote user="Johnny"]I like this too, although I don't think i'd wear much of it. It's too gothy, punky for my own taste. It does however have a kind of understated integrity which is not something she's been majoring on recently. It is actually quite a safe collection apart fom the skirts, which, no matter what anyone says, are just plain silly! There is, as Buckwheat says, a lot of plundering from previous collections, with the white overstitch, the outside in jackets, the boiled polyester and the circle patterns. [/quote]

Now you sound like Faust. [86]

I guess you could call it safe. I was thinking many people would find it "wearable," which is often not the case with these collections....

Or like 99.9 % of the male population!

I meant safe in the sense of not going very far in terms of newness or with new ideas. I agree it seems wearable. Apart form the skirts.......

/\ True. Actually, I think what Junya's been doing for a while has been great - he would take one them and do two seasons with it - fall and spring, which I thought was great. Three times though seems a bit much.

One of the best of the season for me--a perfectly balanced collection from Rei. i love that she rounded out all the elegant black with the patterned pieces. Judging from the detail shots, this is going to be even better in person...the details look amazing.

***the hakamas are lovely...but I've always liked men in skirts...[79]

after looking through EVERYTHING again, this is definitely top three s/s09 for me.

i've been waiting since running around in dresses as a four year old boy for this to happen.

First US customer?

I thought we daren't mention male skirtwearer no. 1

i think its a fail on marc but that doesnt mean i dont want one

[laika]

poor marc...his clean-cut, toned and tan appearance really doesn't work with the designer stuff he has been trying to wear. way too pretty boy is the problem, imo.

i liked it better when he wore glasses.

[Johnny]

Think that's from last winter rather than current collection. I was in the Paris store on Monday and the manager was wearing a short skirt like that with trousers/leggings. I liked it, but it's not for everyone (or indeed many).

[Casius]

Marc's been on a big skirt kick lately. (I've seen other pictures of him wearing a skirt with the Sprouse X LV leggings)

I checked out some of the CDG stuff 2 weeks ago and was loving the price points but not really liking some of the pieces in person. Although, there wasn't much in stock. Some normal looking suit jackets, a weird shiny pebble/animal print hoodie (horrible), and some of the slim jeans and leggings. Will check this weekend if Barneys got their stuff yet.

[Johnny]

Yeah it's not that great in my view. Fabrics disappointing. I think the second round of deliveries is still to come, so maybe it will improve. Evergreen is good as usual.

[Casius]

Yea I wasn't impressed with the fabrics at all. They all felt really dull. But like you said, I think a lot of the more interesting items are still to come.
But I was happy with the pricing. The jeans were around $225, the leggings at $150, and suit jackets around $800.
