wow Christian...thank you!

I was enamoured with the front shots alone, but these detail & rear shots have served only to accentuate the sentiment...

this is doing it for me. putting me in a subversive zena state of mind. how wonderful and empowering it is.

Kinda happy now, that I'm not a girl, because this collection is really amazing. The black pieces are great, but what makes the collection really stand out (at least for me) is the beautiful color palette. The different shades of beige, camel and red are just fantastic. Only the magenta top doesn't really fit in.
The pieces are obviously dope too, so many great ideas and details. The chalky pinstripes and patterns are pretty interesting and I really love these gloves.

On a sidenote: Does anyone know something about the chinese model (the one in the chalky cardigan). She has a really interesting face.

I'm shocked. This is sooo huge!!!
The only bad thing is that my girlfriend saw this beauty too and I have to start saving already ))) Or I'll have to sell my kidney to buy this, Ann D and Julius )

unanimously the best collection for f/w. So much to love as Nostromo says. I fucking love the burgundy.

her name is Fei Fei Sun.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Anyways, I'm still looking at the details Christian posted and I'm wondering about the construction of the gloves.First of all I thought they were normal long gloves, but they seem to go over the shoulders and maybe some sort of shrug jacket is attached to them.
You can see what I mean in these two pictures.

There is also a little zipper at the other side of the gloves as you can see in some of the back shots.
A really stunning concept. I always loved gloves, but these are just beyond words for me.

Now that the fashion weeks have come to an end, I can say with complete conviction that this was indeed the best collection of the season. Bravo.

[laika]

^Agreed. It's so good I'm almost relieved it's not more widely available over here.

I don't have much to add except that I really love the hair and makeup here, as much as I did last season...the softness really works with the
severity of the clothes.

i was looking through some of the old pics and i noticed that a lot of these pieces are remakes of some earlier stuff. is this a common occurrence with af vandevorst?
