Everything about this appeals to me, and I echo merz's sentiments that I dont often hold my breath when clicking on threads like this. The colour palette is really beautiful and the even the patterns work for me (which is not often the case). The volume achieved in the pieces also further ads interest to the collection and is complimented by the range of textiles, some which look incredibly fragile and others which look wonderfully strong.
I would love to know more about the designer also.

Yeah, just randomly clicked on the thread, too, and I'm really taken by a lot of the pieces.
The knits and silhouettes are beautiful. Only thing I find irksome are those two red knit sweaters that are styled without proper use of the sleeves, which is slightly shidiculous.Life is a hiiighway

wow - one of the best collections i've seen in a very long time (and like everyone's already said, from someone way out of left field). i liked the styling quite a bit, especially on the first red sweater (the arms tied together) - but maybe that's just because of my editorial background i like stupid stuff like that.
makes me wish i was a woman and owned it all. although the leggings pulled down all the way over the heels gives me a little 80's vibe...

I like the huge oversized knit-dress with the hole in it. Not really a fan of the fit of the lower body monochrome leggings though. Bow-legged and going past ankle point looks awkward.
Also, not regarding the clothes themselves, anybody know the name of the model?

yeah pretty sure those shoes are United Nude ...
overall quite an impressive collection, what I like about it is that I get an overall sense of humour from the clothes, they're structural but whimsical at the same time. Reminds me of some past seasons of V&R, but not pedantic in any way.
ditto @genevieve : some of the knits have got to go, too costumeyIt's absolutely Hedious!
