I have to give a huge THANK YOU to the amazing Ms. Wauchob for saving the day with frankly what is an impeccable collection. A beautiful collection from Sharon is no surprise, of course… but she really went all out this season, in every aspect. Her aesthetic is always dependably refreshing and she’s always bringing interesting techniques and other new things into the mix but always so consistent… without having to play it safe in any way.
Ok, first… two words: the fur. I almost died when the first fur looks emerged, because of the extreme luxuriousness and also the lack of modesty within them; they are big, decadent and completely transform the silhouette into some serious drama. The look with the grey fur was the perfect transition into the batch of purple looks, as well.
The rest of the collection is an absolute textural treat, as well. Not only is the whole collection a mashup of fur, leather, metallic and more – but the intermixing of the textures within the pieces is done so well. It’s not overboard but instead it looks to have all been very precisely designed.
Sharon is definitely one of the masters of gathering and draping and I think this collection reinforces that a great deal. Everything from very heavy outerwear all the way to slinky dresses – it all wears so well. The way the pieces hang on the body is just fabulous no matter the material she uses for them.
Since there is just so much to mention about this collection, I almost forgot to bring up how much I am dying over some of the trousers… simply perfect cuts and I love the detailing on them. I NEED the ones in the last row, 2nd pic in from the left. The gathered knee trousers that I have from her last fall collection have fast become some of my favorite trousers, so I definitely can’t wait to pick up a pair from this collection as well.
Today of all days, particularly after the sheer DISASTERS that were Balenciaga, Balmain (no surprise there, though, of course.. Balmain is such horrible shit), Anne-Valerie Hash and most others as well, this was particularly lovely to see. Bruno Pieters was amazing though and Rick Owens! will post pics ASAP
