Overall, a sort of reinvention of some of both Nicolas’ and Cristobal’s greatest hits. He’s reconsidered some of last season’s ideas – namely the highly debated seaming and armour-like fit – and some of the archives, whether that’s the sculptural series of black dresses that opened the show (an obvious reference to the couturier’s work) or the scuba-inspired pants and the colour-saturated draping he explored towards the end (both Ghesquiere contributions to the house). By typical Ghesquiere standards, the Robin egg blue and camel-coloured printed latex is quite tame. It’s a telltale sign of an extremely easy, but acute, collection.
