Pilati's collection brought back the essence of what was
Yves Saint Laurent with a meticulously elegant collection.
The printed pieces is what caught my eye with the prince
of wales checks and the pixelated electric blue graphic in
simple knee high coats or dresses that were quite visually
dramatic.

Issey Miyake's fall collection had an incredible educational
perfomance that involved transforming materials and creating
paper like garments , referencing origami techniques. But
instead of elaborating on the feature of the show I would rather
focus on the less obvious which was the practical wearable pieces
and the art behind them, Miyake attempts to explode and explore
traditional graphics of cheverons and herringbones and proceeds
to weave, pixelate and tape them. The colours and contrasts he
uses to express this technique dramatises its effect and makes
for unique wearable pieces.

Dries Van Noten fall collection doesn't fail to present the
unique and iconic prints that have become notorious to his
work, in keeping with the theme of the collection 'collage'
Dries composes and carefully coordinates strong geometric
prints in dramatic tones of indigo, coral, yellow and
mmonochromatic tones of black and white, a feast for the
eyes much like the shoes which are entirely different
composition of materials and textures, it is the maximalist
collection.
