The boots and the skirt have just the right balance of sweet and tough (I confess: I could do without the bag- not a fan of the print). What I like best is the vest- the exaggerated pockets remind me of fanny packs. At the beginning of the year, I postulated that fanny packs aren't making a big comeback anytime soon but maybe they will- as long as they're in this form.I just had an after thought. A bad one. ...If you aren't as svelte as this woman, then the fanny-pack vest may just look like supplementary saddle bags. At least I can still admire them on her!
Here again, we have the fanny pack-esque pocket, but what I love here are the keenly placed belted bands.
I find this print pretty appalling, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the fun shape of the dress. Plus, the gigantic pocket is actually neat.
I've already drooled all over the shoes in this collection- the buckles make me believe that if I ever got to stomp around in them, I'd feel pretty BA all day. I dig this dress because it has that BA vibe with multiple trims and findings.
This dress is pretty, but the reason I posted it was so that you can see the sleeves in context. Look for the back view of the dress.
I wish that I could wear shapes like these without looking like the clothes are wearing me.

i do like the boots, but in general, i see nothing for myself in here. it's an interesting direction for him, though it is semi-gimicky, which dates it all - just like his phase with giant buttons, etc.
editor, thanks for your input! i can appreciate what you mean by the semi-gimicky nature of this collection. to me, the exaggerated pockets worked but the one thing i wasn't too keen on were the prints/ color story (maybe those also contributed to the gimicky-ness?)
