austere.

truth be told, i didn't think much of stefano pilati's last collection for ysl. it was a collection that was neither here nor there, and indifference is almost worse than hate. this collection, the fall 2008 collection is another story altogether. it was hard, austere, futuristic and made no illusions. what you saw, is what you'll get. the tailoring was precise in tweeds and felts. it was a look, that although totally unlike this season's balenciaga show, had a vein of similarity between them. a collection very well done...
