My absolute favorite women's collection from Rick in the past few years. The strength of the silhouette, the not-so-obvious rehashing of his usual inspirations, and thank god we've moved from fashionable nuns to stylish high priestesses. Raf can keep his "techno-couture" maxis; I'm sure 9 out of 10 women would prefer a dress or skirt from Rick any day of the week.

images replaced with better ones as promised.
lovely collection. I'll echo the sentiments that the mens wear should even moderately follow this direction instead of going backwards."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 not sure why people are so hard on the mens collections. Almost everyone who posts on WAYWT has a bit of Rick, and, it seems to me, his jackets, shoes, tracksuit trouser thingies etc are still highly popular. What is the direction being taken in the womenswear? And what would that translate to in the menswear?
The looks at the start of the collection here are very elegant, the short tight-fitting tops and the long flowing A line skirt sections. It gets bit Blake's 7 as it goes on though - retro-futuristic sci-fi - and the attempts at adornment (the bat-ears etc) really are badly done. For me, I just see the silly headpieces and ankle-fluffies, and it just detracts from the clothing. I'm still not convinced by Rick when he moves away from anything largely "basic" - I think that's his strength, and he's found it with menswear, but not yet for womenswear.

I suprisingly love this, as I've never been thoroughly interested in Rick. Globally I like most looks, beautiful shapes, interesting volumes, I love the early XIXth feel of the first looks (backshots would be interesting), I love the "layers" of the short skirts that seem to be made of a single piece of fabric, I love the purity of the asymetrical white gown. I dislike the footwear though (don't mind the thorn sandals but the fluffy ones are rather distracting in my opinion, even though they do somehow balance the short skirts)

Hi. I like your necklace. - It's actually a rape whistle, but the whistle part fell off.

i think this is much better than the last collection, two of the things i really disliked about AW was the bulk of the garments and the peripheral noise of embellishment; this season seems restrained embellishment wise and I really like the way he has used the stiffer taffeta-esc fabrics to emphasize his shapes rather than just sew a duvet to them for bulk.
Also i agree his "basic" work is his best but by basic i mean less seams less clutter generally: simplified construction not simple construction.

To be honest I'd like to wear the floor-length dresses but then I remembered that I have to walk over puddles and grass fields. -1 on everyday wearability.Originally posted by PatroklusBetter too adventurous than not enough

I'm grateful that it's come to fruition; there's no other designer whose clothes I feel more 'myself' in.
ledger - yes, The Sky Was Pink was the soundtrack. And it was spot-on for this particular show.
faust - you're not crazy about it because he didn't slash them floor-sweeping skirts up to kingdom come like Ann did. ⎝⏠⏝*⎠
