Ah holy shit this is psychedelic. Really love the whole carnaby street jizz and design here especially in combination with the strong floral work and well chosen colour palette (good use of radiant orchard the official colour of the year in both his mens and womens AW shows for 2014). The orange is especially strong.

The zippered pieces seem to be an echo of the men's show but feel a little out of place presented here. The trousers especially look really interesting though, they'd work really well off runway.

Yeah good stuff. There's a lot going on but nothing feels redundant or under-developed. Lovely journey thru necklines, closures, print. Spans era and silhouette effortlessly. Love the one-lapel-tucked-up-and-under styling. You should definitely go to his exhibition in Paris if you get a chance syek.

Yeah fully plan to, will be a nice excuse to go visit. Hoping to get up to Antwerp to take a look at the SS collection in full this month too.
