It is still May, and Rick Owens already released his Preco for Mastodon in the online store:
To be honest, I haven't been very active in the discussions about recent collections because I haven't been inspired by most. Although I know this is only the pre-collection, and some of the more interesting pieces will be released later in the season, I didn't see too much in the runway that I found to be as groundbreaking as Rick's previous collections. The plaid that he used for some jackets and knits is pretty awful (in my opinion) and does not coincide with Rick's designs. He had some color blocking during Island with earthy tones which worked amazingly well, but the blood-maroon which started during Moody (I think) was a safe choice of color which has led to an awful consequence in every collection since. Even the atomic yellow from Faun works with Rick's atmosphere far better than this Bottega Veneta crap. And, if I may, plaid worker jackets may be better suited for a Saint Laurent show (which deserve no attention).
At this time, Boris continues to be the only show which catches my interest, even if I would never wear some of the pieces shown on the runway. For example, his latest over-sized coats with detachable sleeves are a garments which I would never purchase for myself, but the way they fit with the mood of Squadron is absolutely amazing. Cheers to Boris.
That is the end of my rant, thank you for your attention.
