Simply superb. This collection’s contrast of undulating and sharp cuts, versatility, and complexity make for one of the top collections of the season. The pieces have a silhouette that is floral but are made from fabrics and colors that act perpendicular to that effect, creating a whole new experience. The explosion of fabrics, wrapped and hanging from the model, seems to give life to the pieces. The clothing itself seems alive and organic, a symbiotic relationship between the wearer and the wear. But then again, with a collection this lovely, are we sure the pieces aren’t just wearing us?
I would like to point out that the sharp cuts that Haider uses are quite popular in Japan’s Harajuku as the cut of blazer and button-up lapels. But it’s so awesome to see that cut being translated into something entirely new. What a treat.
