What?
The clothes are horrible. They tried too hard…..
the cuts are horrendous they make each model look fatter and unpleasant.

Clothes should accompany the body, make the body stand out as the body should do the same with the piece of clothe, but in this case that does´t happen a t a l l

No words..

I think it's quite savvy. I don't no if you've ever looked at the Balenciaga archives, I think it's a masterful play with many of Cristóbal's key ideas (plunging necklines, woman as a flower, shifting of waistlines), all while staying true to what he does at Vêtements (which, that is where I agree, is a bit too much Margiela x Kanye West).
I like it precisely because of what you dislike: It's actually only a little experimental, but it's already too much for today's fashion world. Who says that clothes should make the body stand out in the way we are used to? I like that this collection challenges our ideas of silhouette and a 'sexy' body. It's brilliant in my opinion.
