Quiet disappointing at first glance. I want to see if the video would add something that's missing from the photos.

I like it a lot : the simplicity of the lines, the way some garments flow through themselves as from a broken shell, even the declination of this bright flower pattern towards the end. Some looks are a bit flat, sure, but as for the rest I feel quite convinced.

This is a stunning collection.

Elegant, light, but not airy fairy. There is a firmness to the design hand. Interesting but nothing gimmicky, or overly themed.

Love the elongated tailored pieces, keeping the cut close but mobile.

Super commercial too. Which is a good thing.

the cuts and shapes are reminiscent of Chalayan at his best, but its missing the kind of surprise that we have come to love from him
Its an exceptional collection by fashion standards............but a mediocre one by Chalayan standards

Oh when the gifted set to high an expectation for their fans..............

'stunning' is getting all worn out with reactions to this season's runway. This isn't bad, but definitely has me feeling a bit nostalgic. What zam said.

I only drop stunning once a season. And having seen this collection in motion, I'm sticking with the original verdict.

A bit like Peel explaining his love for "Teenage Kicks", nothing could be added to it, or taken away, that would make it better.

I think it is the balance between simplicity and originality, and the perfectly judged lightness (without losing definition).

It is light but substantial.

Genug.
