Don't Even Look At Me

Its very UN-BV but it looks funky! I like the red skirt and that geometric looking dress. But on the other hand it's kinda weird looking, I dunno its probably just me.
Someone earlier mentioned Louis Vuitton. I agree it has a LV taste to it bu this is much better.

^ACtually ignore that comment, I wrote it before I saw the second page lol. I love the whole collection. Its such a step up from the usual BV but it keeps the label's original integrity without going overboard with the colours.

The collection as a whole is certainly much better than the initial photos--who in the world picked those as the pieces to show off The other major colorblock dress (tan/blue/red) is much, much more successful. Looks like someone cut the stylist budget--all the beads thrown on one look are not a good thing But there's a lot to like here, and I like the color.

Thank god the man hasn't forgotten how to use colors!!!

I haven't seen this much color in a BV collection since his debut f/w 04 RTW show.

I agree with Meg that as a collection it doesn't really come together, but a lot of the pieces are extremely desirable. I think the lack of cohesion has less to do with the the clothes and more to do with the styling. It's not as perfectly edited as his collections usually are. (That random mumsy floral printed piece should've been nixed, and whoever put flat thick strapped sandals with a full pleated colorblocked dress should be shot)

Fantastic step forward for BV but still remaining true to their aesthetic.
