I usually like tech fabrics and appreciate new fabric development etc but I really can't get into the sporty side of this collection, besides maybe a couple of pieces. The more elegant pieces are nice but are nothing really new from Christopher Bailey.

[ProfMonnitoff]

There's the occasional "wow" and the incredible wishing to be able to pull some of the stuff in this collection off (some of the gold pieces or the red/blue trenches to name a few). It seems like there is a nice mixture of eccentric and wearable that designers often don't achieve.

Also, this is how sagged pants are supposed to be done. I can't tell from the pictures of most pants if they're just sagged or if they're worn regularly but the crotch is dropped. Either way, I like it.

[homme.homme]

I think they're dropped crotch. The easiest way to tell if sagged or dropped crotch is pulled of well is, if its the first thing you notice about an outfit - its usually bad.

[totally epic]

I like those maroon pants. I couldn't pull them off though...

[SWB]

this:

is amazing.

I'd lose everything but the coat and just freeball in that.

[misterpretender]

i don't really get the dropped crotch look. this is one fashion trend i will stay away from. it looks sloppy and distracting. i think it would look good on guys with long cocks and big balls...lol

there are a few pieces that i like but as a whole i was not impressed by Mr. Bailey's collection...i also don't find the sequined outfits all that nice and that overly knit sweater is hideous! i wouldn't want to be caught dead wearing that...

[goldengloves]

All I can say is; Sequin tops for men, ish don't think so.

[asuzano]

man i loved this entire collection. i think its great.

[homme.homme]

I don't know who would actually wear those (sequin tops) but on a purley catwalk level they create interest and a good depth of fabric range. The editorial that would come from those pieces would be beneficial to the brand.

[goldengloves]

And it's just that, that I don't particularly agree with. To be honest, I think if you have to produce a piece simply for a particular show it is just a publicity stunt and nothing more. But if a designer produces a collection that is completely wearable then they have achieved much more. I look at fashion shows more for the 'fashion' than the 'show'.

[hahnstch]

i can see some of the items from post #1 being paired with the cdg stuff from this spring season...

and i dig the dropped crotch look actually (like i always do)

[Liberation1945]

that is an AMAZING suit.

and that gold blazer in the 4th picture looks like something from dior homme.

[Lucas0607]

Strong collection overall. I love the proportions and just how it "fits". Love the trousers and the coats *DROOL*. Though there are some elements that would really not work for men's fashion - in the traditional sense.

[Comma H]

Agreed. Im liking this collection much more than the others so far. Gold, however is hard to pull off and it looks like this line strongly favours the wafer-thin physique.

[keagan]

FUCK.

The glasses are really stupid.

It's like Prorsum x nu-rave x balenciaga ss07 which is obviously wrong.

[Miles]

Seriously, croakies?

[Guest Airjamie]

This shit is hideous. Its undermining the integrity of a brand that has put together some great collections in the past, nevermind that it looks like some 579 or WET SEAL shit.

[ProfMonnitoff]

Seriously, croakies?

Are you the kind of guy who says the same thing about suspenders and fanny packs?

[Miles]

Are you the kind of guy who says the same thing about suspenders and fanny packs?

Not sure what kind of guy that would be. But I think suspenders are great.

[Thorns]

Every year they seem to do a classic trench reinvented... and i love it everytime.

[Fookums]

The blazers and jackets look nice, but it didn't really wow me that much. Some of the pieces were interesting to look at but I'm not much of a fan of the whole look.

[homme.homme]

This is definately growing on me, probably my favourite so far. Ferragamo is pretty good too - beautiful metalic trench. Hopefully have a chance to post images soon.

[insidertrading]

is it just me or does it seem like bailey injected a good dose of (post a/w 05') slimane into this collection.

[nairb49]

^^agreed.

I'm on the fence, leaning towards a "no" for this... materials are off for me, but the cuts look quite nice.

[surfed57]

The colors really get me. Besides the gold, I mean. The red and cyan seems the only thing that separates this from a true DH aesthetic. And come on, sunglasses with the little neck chords? It's a handsome collection, but wearable I don't know.
