"I wish someone had picked up on the ML point rather than the hairy legs."
This is something that I have noticed for the past few seasons. I thought it was quite obvious that Lamy is having a bigger influence on his work then ever before.
From the accessories,footwear and even some of the surface decor/details on many pieces and even the styling to some extent.
For me it has softened Ricks aesthetic slightly. More of a tribal,ethnic influence is seeping in, with a touch more restraint and for me, the results are rather chic, a bit more mature if you will.
I was never a fan of "sporty" Rick as I rarely wear sportswear unless Im training.
I adore Lamys style, that mix of Sumerian high priestess meets post apocalyptic Boudica. The direction that Rick is going in now is exciting me, as it fits in more with my personal tastes than before, as I love the mix of soft/ethnic with hard/futurism. Two contradicting things which work together perfectly, when done well.
Hopefully he carries on in this vain because I would love to see where he takes it next. Secondly this new direction makes it slightly harder for the high street to capitalise on h as it is less commercially viable.

i didnt watch the ss13 collections until recently but it seems like this season way way off across the board. i liked the functionality of the skirt/dresses rick showed last season and i feel they pushed design boundaries in the right aesthetic direction within ricks universe. with the leg warmers i do not see a functional purpose but moreso they look like a frivolous design element, assuming something to connect the oddly low footwear to the rest of the silhouette. does anyone male or female wear leg warmers in the summer? i feel like this collection from the bottom half down is awful. clogs are clogs are clogs no matter what type of leather is used.
I can't make up my mind about this show. Neither love it nor hate it. I think maybe the clogs/socks are too distracting. The bomber coat is intriguing.
I can say one thing, at least Rick is pushing the envelope. Props for that. Makes fashion interesting.

epaulets gave the jacket a more rugged look, I think it subdues the style of the stooges without it, imo. Obviously one of the best ones is from exploder. This collection is weak as hell, a brown stooges is a highlight? lol
