I think Rick dropped the ball, nothing seemed wearable.
When I say wearable I don't mean "I can't pull it off" or "nobody can pull it off", some of it is going to be completely unwearable, there's some pieces that won't sell more than 10.

The only shoes that looked remotely good were the black high-top springblades.
Raf on the other hand actually had wearable pieces, but I wouldn't want to wear them, other than the shoes and maybe a few other pieces.

I don't wear Rick, but I actually liked it a lot. I've never expected him to use prints and colors like pink. Dries and Raf were great imo. KvA is kind of weird. Yohji was great.

>>8417381
what do you think is unwearable from the collection?

the shoes shirts shorts are just as wearable as any other reason. Also that Rick & Michelle tee was fire

If you want to wear this kind of stuff then do it, I'm just saying a lot of it won't be bought by members of /fa/, there'll be no fits with most of this.
He said he was inspired by a faun masturbating on the scarf of a nymph for this collection.

>>8417383
The pinks in Rick were very interesting, I especially liked the shape of the pink fabric attached on this top. I also liked the spring blade boots, but the rest of the Adidas stuff felt very forced and unnecessary. The embroidery of what I would assume to be Rick and Michelle is really interesting too, I wasn't impressed until I saw a good angle that showed it wasn't a print.

>>8417504
I think the grey paint adds a level of absurdness to the overall fit.
If he wasn't painted, it'd still look weird but not as weird.

Walking in them would probably be an interesting experience.

>>8417504
Minus the pink thing on the front, which is likely removable, it would just be a long brown tee without sleeves. The only things that I see not selling well are those weird denim things, everything else looks perfectly wearable.

>>8417532
They use adidas springblade soles which are made for running I believe.

These look eerily similar.

>>8417571
that's because that thing was based of last season's Rafidas which had the exact same silhouette

>>8417575
No that thing was basically an AF1 with loads of other meme shoe details shopped onto it. The only thing Raf about it is the holo strap and the blue thing from the Ozweego.

>>8417575
The base is AF1's m8

>>8417584
the different layers of soles are definitely ripped off from Raf's adidas collabs.

>>8417586
Nah it was literally a bunch of people in the thread saying "Now add this sole! Now this one!"

You can see soles from AF1, Red Octobers, Geobaskets (gumsole), Nike Fliyknit, New Balance, CCP Drip, RO Hiking Boots with sharktooth rippling on the blocks.

The whole thing was just a day of fun on /fa/

>>8417604
Holy shit, I was in that fucking thread. I doesn't change the fact that the whole aesthetic is ripped from Raf's Adidas designs. fucking newfags

>>8417610
I don't think that went through anyone's mind when the thread was happening. Just stacking sole after sole on top of eachother doesn't count as ripping off just because someone else did something vaguely similar, it's a pretty simple idea that anyone can think of. Why aren't you bitching about them ripping off Prada as well?

Go suck Raphael's dick in your own time.

This.
Runway shows are like performance pieces.

>>8417680
Except everything Rick puts on runway is coppable. You miss that part mate?

>>8417719
Well it's a good thing that most of it is pretty wearable

>>8417719
Its coppable, but the styling can make things llok much weirder than they are.

Case in point:
The overcoats that Rick sent down the runway slung over the models' shoulders.
Worn normally, it would just look like a really good overcoat. However, Rick wanted to make a statement, and to amp up the asthetic he was trying to convey he used the piece in a very extreme way.

224KB, 1279x1919px

pretty surprised there's no mention of damir doma. he took imo a pretty big turn this season.
in his past seasons, i usually got one of three vibes:

>color popping abstract expressionist modern art you make fun of when you're a kid
>"im sad, cold, and artistic so leave me alone"
>muh avant garde

now it looks like weird japanese tailoring or "oversized cos"

>>8417791

Dunno if I'd call it a big turn. The lightening up, the move away from moody, heavy, layered shapes has been happening for seasons now. Even graphic elements appeared several times in the last few collections. The shapes have gotten a little looser, but are structured rather than draped. He's removed or abstracted a lot of the overtly ethnic influences (e.g. plush fur vests, the Oriental air has been replaced with something that's a bit more international. It's harder to place a finger on the map and say, "That come from here." The expansive and shifting color palettes have also been a big part of it, which is probably motivated in equal parts by commercial demands and just a desire to try something new.

I don't think there was much that made me sit up and take notice for spring '15 (and we'll see when it comes to actually handling it and what winds up in stores), but it seems like he's getting more and more comfortable with not being a Raf-lite or a gentleman-ly Rick.

>>8417814
I agree, he seems to be coming into his own. moving away from being a raf-rick-yohji hybrid

Since when did Robbie Rotten start modeling?

>>8417719
ready-to-wear implies that it's a piece made to be worn immediately off the runway. The other type if styling is inherently more artistic and less conventional. That doesn't have anything to do with them being available for purchase or not. Furthermore, the buyers for each store decide which pieces you can get, besides whatever becomes available in Rick's stores and online shop.

I thought the Ann show was pretty safe. Being a new creative director to a label as beloved as Ann Demeulemeester is a tough spot, and I think he wanted to show that he was keeping her dna.

Some of those overcoats and vests were fantastic.

I'd say it was a 9/10 show

>>8417870

I hope he sorts out the shoe silhouettes.

I've enjoyed Craig Green, Junya, Dries, Gosha, Visvim had cool pieces. Jil was interesting.

Loved Yang Li, JW Anderson, and Vivienne Westwood tbh. Missoni had some dope pieces too.

Didn't like Raf that much. Pre 08 Raf was the best for me.

UC was alright.

Take it with a grain of salt these are initial gut reactions and I am not educated on alot of these brands

>Rick

Liked it and it looks really fucking cool. Personally not alot of things I could wear without feeling out of my element. Hope he does more suiting and coats, very interested in buying into some Rick

>Yohji

Really love the general vibe of the collection, fan of the head scarves and chinese style jackets. Always look forward to pants in his SS collections but didn't really like them this season, a little TOO shapeless and loose for me. Love the blues, denim, and subtlety of the prints. I don't really like when he does alot of random "stylistic" things like leather inserts, cut out panels etc. which there was alot of. Overall is nice, better than last season.

>MMM

Want to start buying into it but individual pieces are a little too bland for me to want to save up for it

>Craig Green

Solid, coherent evolution of his style. If this continues I definitely want to start picking up some of his stuff.

>Junya

Gorgeous but not interested in wearing any of it, feels like I'm seeing the same thing every season and would like to see him do new things

>Dries

Man Dries is solid and consistent as FUCK.

>JW Anderson

Really liked it as well, came along as more of a "oh that is a really interesting way to consider it" than "WTF" this season. Enjoying seeing how his delivery is coming along

>Burberry Prorsum

Loved the colors, lots of great individual pieces. Burberry does a fantastic job of marketing their brand and it's nice to see Christopher take on a new theme every season while still remaining very British.

>Overall Impressions

Nothing that totally moved me this season but pretty entertaining, I'd say it was better overall than SS14 but that might just be because I didn't really follow fashion back then as much as I do now

>>8419311

You are missing the point, he meant that all of it is meant to be sold, bought, and worn, nothing that is simply put on the runway for purely "artistic" purposes.

Everything Rick puts out is meant to be available for buyers to pick up and consumers to wear, it's just that the buyers usually pick up the consistent selling pieces only.

The looks from this show consisted of different swatches of colour patched onto different suits, jackets, etc. The Missy elliot track playing as the models strut down the runway was nostalgic, questionable however to fit with the style of the show. I’ll leave that to the creative directors discretion though.

Sarah Burton did a good job with McQueen’s legacy of on point tailoring and very structured garments. She also brought some new stuff to the table, with the interesting colourways and patchwork. She is surely taking a step in the direction to establish herself within the brand.

Sibling is the shit. Just look at those outfits. That dude in the short shorts obviously doesn’t skip leg day, a trend that needs to catch on in the world of male models.

The trio of Joe Bates, Cozette McCreery and Sid Bryan at Sibling are seriously some of the most original designers in the world right now. Every year I continue to be impressed with the pieces they put out, and am blown away by the shows.

Flintones-esque bone necklaces meet fringe, meet dressy combat boots. Seriously never have I seen so many things from such different areas of inspiration come together to work so well.

I’ll repeat, Sibling is the shit, I mean, who wouldn’t want to wear a giant pompom on their head.

Marc Jacobs ss15 menswear collection looks like the wardrobe of a 70s crime drama. That is not a bad thing, in fact it’s pretty fucking awesome.

So many gorgeous prints, including the flamingos, very over the top parody of the 70s in general. There was even a fedora in there, but not a “mi lady” type of fedora, one that actually looked good and fit with the theme of the show.

The suits were just grand, not much needs to be said about them, just look for yourself and clearly you can see, “yep, thats a good looking suit right there”.

Beetlejuice eat your heart out. There were more stripes in this show than I could count. Those vertical stripes actually cause an optical illusion of making the model appear taller and skinnier, or wait, maybe that’s just malnutrition.

Frida Giannini went for the nautical theme on this one for sure, combined with an urban structured silhouette. Interesting, but not amazing, solid collection.

Raf Simons SS15 menswear collection baffles me. It ranges from prison uniform like outfits to oversize bright jackets to Japanese inspired prints and Skechers shape-up inspired shoes. Speaking of shoes I have a feeling hypebeasts are gonna be all over those light purple sneaker colourway.

The excellently tailored jackets seem to be a recurring piece in Raf’s shows over the past years and i’m not complaining, they aren’t boring yet, keyword “yet”.

Still don’t know how I feel about this show. Invokes a range of emotions from “huh?” to “that’s cool.”

The guy from Prometheus stopped going to the gym. Seriously though, Rick Owens is the king of silhouettes, and it shows in this collection.

Rick took a step away from the monotone colours seen in a lot of his pervious collections and ventured into different greens, blues, and browns. A lot of the looks were the same outfit essentially in different colourways, that said, it was far from lazy design, the way the colours were done truly makes it it’s own piece.
