^ Well the more drape types are not too bad, but still nothing so special. I could possibly be having a problem with the model/make up as well. She looks like a ghoul...and I'm sure that's the designer's intention. Total put off for me personally when it comes to women. :P
And you're right on the 7th down item. I think it comes across looking too small due to where the edges of the garment finish, which end much shorter than where they conventionally would.

Find myself oddly attracted to the women's, despite everything being vaugely familiar it all has that distinct Obscur look. The gloves/sleeves/gauntlets are my favorite piece.

this collection reminds me more and more of julius past seasons. i liked the direction obscur went in with jacket detailing from maybe 3? seasons ago but this just seems like it's steering more and more towards julius and less from what i was coming to expect from obscur. i do like the womens as well but it's hard to see it as anything other than the mensline but all in cropped asymmetrical cuts rather than a more femme direction.

^Obscur (and this season in particular) is pretty far away from Rick Owens if you look at the actual garments and craftmanship. It makes more sense to compare richards work with CD/Luc and some japanese stuff like _7. Merz said it all already.
from an exaggerated POV Rick is chic/street with some dark elements and obscur is like costuming for some gothic pre-industrial horror movie. Ricks stuff has that hypermodern/sci-fi edge while obscur is very timeless. Apples and Oranges, in this case both dropped in a can of black paint.Last edited by quiet noise; 10-03-2011, 02:03 AM.

I was both pleased and thrilled about the aw/11 since I felt obscur took a huge step from the sometimes over the top pieces from the past and has some really great more tailored stuff and was hoping for even more development and maybe an even more cohesive collection but I'm not quite sure what to think if this. The close-ups look great however and there are a few very nice pieces but maybe I was expecting more.

the collection was very nice, much nicer in person than the pictures suggest..........I don't know what brands to compare it to, and I wont even bother to try, but the jackets and coats were very strong, he definitive pieces of the line. I thought the pants/ bottoms needed more development
I actually have a copy of the lookbook as Richard gave it to me when we were in Pris, but I'm not good at scanning, so...............“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”

Yes leather looks great as always!
But as Zamb points out, I would also hoping for a bit more development regarding pants and also some sharper jersey. But I have very high hopes for Obscur and if they add some knits and sharper pants to the aw/12, my fiancee will probably need to lose her shoe addiction
