daw, I'm not too sure about this one. Rei says she was going for deliberate bad taste, but I think it just ended up looking dumpy for the most part. It didn't seem like new territory for CdG either. But the cut-out jackets are interesting, and the combination of patterns and fabrics in one outfit shows off the standard CdG fashion-forward design aesthetic. I just feel like it could've been done a little more cleanly and maybe taken in a direction not so similar to last season. It looks like Rei just phoned this one in. Maybe they told her to go to rehab and she said no, no, no?

    I dunno, for the most part I liked this one. And the men's collection is something I'll totally buy from - though it's strangely Westwood filtered thru CDG,

      I actually really liked the men's collection, and I've got a few pieces on my list. Especially one of the long coats with stuff on it and the matching pants (so '80s, which is why I like it I guess). But you're right, it did seem a bit Westwoody.

        well it's an intentional reworking - didn't really think if Rei as the type to do such obvious homage, but at least she picked a designer whose work I like and from a period when they were amazing.

        I'm in NYC next week to visit CDG (as well as MMM and a few others). Not really sure if anything from the men's runways did it from me , but usually I find surprises that make me happy. I do like the shorts I got from Junya - they are slightly bunched in the back in a way that ought to be unflattering like Westwoods bustlebum pants - but that are hot as long an you have enough junk in the trunk...

          Or have a banana handy.

          That reminds me I like the intentionally wrinkled pants, jackets, and suits from this Spring by Junya Man. I think I might get a pair of the shorts.

            None of the wrinkle suits were big enough for me - they are cut really small in the arms and chest and I body build.
