doo.ri
if it weren't for these three looks and a few others, this wouldn't have even made it into the 'honorable mentions' category. doo.ri had pretty much a handful of unflattering drape and i don't think the collection was entirely cohesive. atleast the looks above were so unbelievably perfect it gave me an excuse to ignore the rest.



band of outsiders
looking back on it ... i'm half over it. a lot of hit and misses, and the menswear was a little bland. kind of cute, kind of boring.



y-3
yesyesyes unisex. casting was great, hot menmenmen. again, looking back on it, it wasn't as amazing as it was the first time, but still, yohji is probably only one of a few who can send an almost entirely black collection down the runway and still call it summer. fuck yes.



tommy hilfiger
so cute. i bet the models would have had heaps of fun backstage and on the runway. classic american sportswear and, can i say, 10x cuter than bloody lacoste.



cushnie et ochs
so clean cut and simple. and the shoe detail actually made everything. there was also a really nice balance between tailored, fit items and drape.


rodarte
i'm not going to include any photos from rodarte because i acually didn't really like a lot of the looks, particularly fabrication, clashing prints etc. however it was still fresh and i'm a little sick of people saying it's 'not-rodarte'. it's a trillion times better than the drapey shit they've beein doing for the past 50 seasons. it's a step up but i'm anticipating next season for rodarte because their ideas will have flourished and hopefully will have stopped using such cheap, hideous looking fabrics. it's still a little messy and cluttered, particularly since they've kept their 'throwing random shit together' aesthetic from previous seasons. kind of a lack of design i guess. it's okay, they will be somewhat amazing for fall i hope.


  
theykens theory
ughhh completely my aesthetic. contrary to everyone else's opinion i HATE the angle and wish we had the typical straight on photographs. this angle prevents so much of the outfit to be visible which is kind of disappointing because this collection looks amazing. it looks so effortless and comfortable. grocery shopping wear :)



proenza schouler
took me a while to appreciate some of the looks and still unsure about the middle section. opening looks and closing look were amazing though.



3.1 phillip lim
oh god you have to watch the video to appreciate. the backs of most of the looks were what made this collection magic. it was the perfect balance of hard or detailed fronts with soft sheer backs. inspired by menswear but still had a feminine beauty that is hard to capture while doing menswear for women. can't even express how much perfection was in this collection (RHYME).



marchesa
probably the only label that can spit out the same shit every season yet still be worshipped for it. marchesa has probably never ever failed. i guess this season, i can give them credit for including these perfect lace jumpsuits that i want living in my wardrobe right now.


honorable mentions
jeremy scott
will never be able to take him seriously, but i guess that's his intention. kind of fun. definitely NOT gaga inspired, contrary to popular belief fuck ya bloggers.
philosophy di alberta ferreti
conceptually it was great, however a few looks were wayyyy too literal for my taste. opening prints were beautiful but i think it just got way too crazy with the colours.
calvin klein
haha what can i say, minimalism at its best.




that's it! see you guys after london.
