Looking at a Balenciaga collection is like eating a chocolate bar. Slowly chewing every bit. Discovering pieces of caramelised hazelnuts and tender swirls of caramel. This time its flavour is salty liquorice. /HORST
This collection is not going to be produced - so they say. Well who gives me a neoprene college T-shirt now? Where is my flattened 2D coat? Where my black trash bag plastic trousers? It's a sad sad world. /HORST
Neon and neoprene. High performance utility wear and high fashion. Skintight and structured. There is a reason I always liked to watch swimming in television. /HORST
I am feeling excitement. The certainty that we are witnessing something outstanding and fantastic. Detachable leather boots. Fishing, biking and skydiving references. I just can't get over the brilliancy, how devastatingly beautiful and forward-thinking this collection is. A new Raf Simons has emerged. /HORST
