I think the silhouettes are extremely interesting. Subtle curves and slightly displaced hems and waistlines force to rethink the body. Some looks look quite feminine, but not through artificially gendered attributes, more in the way the clothes shape the body. I like that a lot. There also seems to be an interesting work on fastening systems, taking inspiration from non western conceptions of clothing, and the use of prints really is visually stimulating.

Is this collection still manufactured all in the good 'ol U.S. of A.? Or is it just the Martin Greenfield jackets?
Ditto on the jackets...the canvasing is exquisite...haven't come across many other pieces like it.And "When the prince has gathered about him

I wouldn't argue if you were saying that one should be able to see thorugh hats and styling, where I'd agree, but ridiculing these comments into irrelevance for not being able to attend a showroom and form their opinions after seeing the clothes in person is silly.

So then, what you are saying is that we should judge the merits of a collection - each & every piece – based on how it was accessorized for the runway? Aah. Yes, I see. And my viewpoint is ignorant?
As you've noticed, I'm not arguing with a lot of what you're saying. My point was that the comment you've made and I've highlighted came off as a very militant reaction to people saying the presentation looks wack.
And hey, I might even disagree with them, but nevertheless it is the only representation of the clothes that are available for them atm, and it's not even blogger pics, it's a lookbook approved by the designer. These clothes are going to appear in shops after quite some time, for now all we have is this, so I can't see why people should not be allowed to base their initial opinion on it.

I've only seen Siki Im on Gilt, of all places...and actually one other American boutique website. But it was sort of sad...Gilt was selling the blazers for $350 or so, while the boutique had them at retail...around $1800.And "When the prince has gathered about him

a few studio shots from the collection, exclusive to scoute/stylezeitgeist:
few more here: http://scoute.org/blog/
I find these shots particularly interesting as this is more how I perceived the collection when seeing it in person (it was shown mostly in black and dark grey tones), as opposed to the official presentation."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."

Much prefer the rabbit hats to the exaggerated 10-gallons. Way to make the Great Plains look classy. :)Originally posted by Yohji Yamamoto, on his second Paris showFrom the next collection it became a war. I didn't want a war but too much attack made me fight.' And you are a good fighter, I say, referring to his black belt in karate. 'I am,' he nods.
