I don't understand NAT any longer. There are for sure nice garments here, but it's a mix of Rick, Ann, Helmut, Yamamoto, and Dior Homme. It's everything and nothing, will probably sell well in stores that need to add another line, but totally directionless as fashion. And I want to like it.

The only thing I can comment on is the great flow of the collection.
Some individual pieces do stand out and I quite like them but then I realize that I thought the exact same thing last year and that I haven't enjoyed NAT for the past 3-4 seasons.

Really like this. It is proper hard. Boys and Girls. The sort of thing a number of the designers in the SZ purview attempt but fail to reach.

I would not have guessed this was NAT. Intriguing shift in aesthetic.

i mean rad is stale but at least he's sending down boys and girls in the same clothes and the only person he's knocking off is himself
NAT is just showing his menswear on his womens runway to save himself the expense of an extra show. plenty of designers have done that. rick and ann used to do it, and that's not surprising considering how much they've informed this show.

I read that he now uses the same stylist as Ann and Haider Ackermann now,so that might explain the similarities. I am not sure that this move is the best decision. To me NAT is at his strongest when his collections have a certain severity which I miss deeply here. The tailoring looks superb as always but the rest makes me think of 'to many cooks spoil the broth'.

Where did you read that, Verdandi?

I am also curious about his connection with Ann D and Haider Ackermann's stylist.. Ackermann immediately sprung to mind when I saw his ladies' pieces - this just seems so "off", for want of a better word.

After leaving his own label for two years and making an express appearance at Cerutti, Nicolas Andreas Taralis is in the spotlight again. And the former assistant to Hedi Slimane is in good hands: the grande dame Michèle Montagne (the matron of Ann Demeulemeester and Haider Ackermann) is now looking after him.

wasn't it the opposite (women's clothing worn by men)?
