even though the presentation is steps down from last years' there are several wearable pieces in this and that's all I, as a consumer, can really ask for. which isn't to say this isn't dissapointing, i'm just not all that worried about it.
he didn't have a presentation last year. a photoshoot etc. is quite far from a runway show anyway.
"AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."
I'm surprised by the opinions of some of the users on this site. Boris is producing here a bunch of nice, wearable, beautiful in their own right pieces that would fit into your current wardrobe, and reasonably in line with what he's done before, and he's widely panned. Doma destroys what he was building for the past two seasons and releases a bunch of baggy red felt clothes that make you look like a gay Arab sultan from outer space, and everyone goes nuts. Same with Rick's IMHO elegant and tasteful progression of his vision into his new season - everyone was nonplussed.
The fit seemed to be struggling on most of the models. However, if it was planned/executed in a weeks time, I don't think it completely fell flat. This was the collection I was most excited for, and I am a bit underwhelmed. I think it's still got some of the urban/skater/hip hop influences that he states drive his line, but it was such a large transition from his previous collections that I feel I had something completely different in mind. If individual pieces are anything like what he's made in the past, I'm sure there will be many worth wearing. I agree with tlack. This wasn't his finest moment, but much more wearable than Doma.
i couldn't stand all the chords and think the styling where he just wraps mounds of fabric around and around was just as bad as this. i actually like some of the perforated pieces. i dont think buyers will have too hard of time picking pieces that will sell here.
but yeah all and all looks a little too familiar for a debut paris colletion
Yes, and the different is hugh. His work here look
so boxy and square. Which I don't understand why he
would go there compare to some of his more recent
offerings, which looked much more organic.
Long coat looks fine, and I definitely see the link to prior collections when I look at the necklines, but most of the white pieces seem rather unappealing, particularly the shorts with the squared-out crotch. I might change my mind if I saw each piece presented separately, though.
