Altuzarra's collection was much more interesting, it was nice to see that he branched out of his usual fuss-free aesthetic that he's most comfortable designing. While the collection did still carry many interpretations of this aesthetic, I found the collection to be anticipated for a younger and more constraint audience than his previous collections. Yet this collection still lacked defined innovation for the Altuzarra label. With a name like Altzuzarra, I expected nothing short of raw and edgy, pieces of clothing which would be able to impose their opinion on the audience.
There was nothing new or unique about the silhouette of the garments and the tousled fabric over the waists of skirts seemed messy and unnecessary. Thus, the entire collection appeared to be an unruly assortment of ideas.
Nonetheless the velvet used to create many of the skirts, was accentuated beautifully by the drapery and tousled nature of it's use however, I'm not too sure how appealing this would be to accentuate this area of the body. It was perhaps nostalgic of the infamous Comme Des Garçons Spring/Summer 1997 collection often referred to as Lumps and Bumps in which Rei Kawakubo aggressively and shockingly challenged the traditional perceptual boundaries of the female form, volume and space.
