Junya Watanabe


Junya has created a traveling mans collection, one that Wes Anderson would be very at home with. This beautifully curated presentation of suiting from Watanabe was a true treat. So traditional and classically inspired yet so modern and relevant all in the same breath. The colors and fabrics were fantastic, the proportions and fits even more so. The models could have kept walking right off the cat walk and on to a train car to Eastern Asia the looks screamed versatility and comfort, very well done and made it all look easy. Oh by the way many of the jackets were reversible. Watanabe did this in such a way that it was a real kick in the teeth as if they weren't good enough the first time around the jackets were tremendous inside out. Well played Mr. Watanabe.

Dior Homme


Well this was a train wreck that not even Amtrak could compete with. KVA has done it, he has destroyed Dior Homme. Dior Homme has become something of a sideshow, instead of being dark, elegant, and rock all rolled up into one slim package it is now; cheap, showy, flashy and very D&G. Ugh the hot mess it was. Dior Homme has lost it completely, bet they were wishing they were more flexible with Heidi now. Nothing short of an embarrassment unfortunately. This show had no presence in my mind, err I take that back it had plenty of presence just in the form of the giant pink elephant in the corner everyone is trying not to mention.
