              I LOVED this show so much, the prints are so well used. I love how the lines circle around the body.

              Im not a fan of the jackets, i think they may be a bit to heavy in some cases.

              on another note,
              I saw him at the antwerp show 2008, hes such a small delicate man!

                Did you tell him to stop this Nina Ricci nonsense and go back to his amazing goth gowns? Well, I suppose this is an improvement, but the first few NR collections were so-so.

                  the two first looks are absolutely amazing. I would love to see this gown esthaetic translated into other formats, that are perhaps more wearable by men ^^

                    It's a beautiful collection, for sure. The construction on some of these gowns is truly outstanding. Wish we could see them from the back...

                    On the (obvious) downside: a mere two outfits featured trousers. Four featured, for all intents and purposes, underwear. All 27 remaining looks were of dresses that were short in the front, long in the back. With a train. Was that really necessary?

                    Anyway, as a fashion image, this could not be more perfect:

                      one word:
                      Helmut went to the ocean to gather his thoughts. Inspiration comes from retreat.

                          Breathtakingly beautiful.
                          let us raise a toast to ancient cotton, rotten voile, gloomy silk, slick carf, decayed goat, inflamed ram, sooty nelton, stifling silk, lazy sheep, bone-dry broad & skinny baffalo.

                              it seems rather uninspired to me... i haven't really liked any of his stuff at nina ricci. there are some lovely pieces and i like the colour palette, but it all looks a bit 'cheap', even though it obviously isn't. i can't see it looking good on a large percentage of women, being completely dominated by formalwear (as droogist mentioned, sort of).
