In a strange mix between tribal and gothic tones, the girls never cease to impress with their unique take on dresses and prints. According to style.com's review, who says it much eloquently than I dare attempt to repeat, "In other words, they aged, painted, burned, shredded, sandpapered, and otherwise destroyed all of the materials—including grungy scraps of plaid, plastic, cheesecloth, wool cobweb, crystals, macramé, leather, and more—until they bore only traces of what they had been originally."
I mean how...how did they construct some of these garments? Pieces of the dresses are so intricate I can only imagine what backstage looked like trying to get actual people into them. What truly amazes me about these girls is how delicate garments that are so hard can become with a little inspiration.
Last season, I found myself lusting after the mini dresses that had this unbelievable fluidity without being anything I'd ever seen before. After gaining their sterling reputations in the fashion world, I feel as this collection speaks most to who they are as designers...so far at least.
Ps. How cool is the floor?

Ok. Practical, no. Unbelievable, yes.
Maybe in a dream, I will walk down Michigan Avenue in the dead of winter wearing this. And of course be this skinny...sigh.
