Brave and bold new world: KTZ

03 Jan 2009 03:05:03 PST

Written by Anna Battista
Take the Autumn/Winter 2008-09 “The World to Come” collection with its sculpted knits, jersey separates and sophisticated yet practical sequinned dresses or the Spring/Summer 2009 collection with its adventurous robotic and erotic designs, with shiny and glossy fabrics in vivid nuances and appliquéd gems that form surreal faces and geometrical patterns on mini-dresses, sweats, leggings and hoodies. Just by looking at this collection - a mix of ready-to-wear, urban wear and modern art - it becomes easy to understand why the brand has become in just a few years extremely successfully and well-known not only in Europe but also in the rest of the world.

Raf Simons Spring 2002

17 Dec 2008 18:02:17 PST

To speak on this collection in particular, I really think the styling clearly lent a hand and a half to how well received this show was - however, I don't think that detracts from the collection's actually integrity. There is a wonderful range of pieces shown and the collection has some great aspects. People marvel at the political commentary he depicted here, but I sort of disagree. While I'm actually fine with the pieces aesthetically - I don't think the intention is so novel, and some of his other collections have a MUCH higher level of political influence - they're simply just not as literal. All in all, I really liked this collection; the fabrics are really nice, the construction is great and I love the fit of the clothing... particularly beca...
