kind of mixed feelings. AFV has usually been one of my favourite womens collections but this I'm not so sure about. some very good looks, but several strange ones. partially weird styling as well, for example this polo + dress combination is kind of a wtf for me, the dress and knit would look great otherwise. and this to me looks just bad, and nothing like them.
these however I though were really nice:
..also the lighting is terrible :P"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."

AFV usually employ a certain level of control in their work, even when the silhouettes aren't so clean, which in turn gets communicated through the clothes as inbuilt confidence. (F/W'10 is a perfect example. swoon..)
Put another way, it makes them look like they know what they're doing. I don't get that sense here at all. This feels more like Barnum & Bailey than A.F. Vandevorst, right down to the circus ringmaster. Don't get me started on those big, black chickens..Last edited by interest1; 03-04-2011, 06:14 PM..

more victorian asylum than circus, imo.
I think it's mostly fantastic...love your selection, lowrey....I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.

The coordination and shades of colors are amazing. This is the first time I have seen this designer's work, but thanks to the above members for pointing it out as the footwear really is top notch. I'm not really feeling the fan-shaped, pleated fronts on some of those tops. And I guess satin is in this season...some of the pieces have a bit too much "shine" for me.
But those examples from previous collections are really nice picks...though I really like the asymmetric wool short-jackets from the current season.
