Her last collection was great, because her work is great, but it was getting to be very same-y without much expansion. She's really outdone herself here... while breathing much new life into her aesthetic, she's managed to keep the core of what, for many, Ann D. is all about (which is something many other designers could take a cue from). The color palette is really varied; I'm not the biggest fan of that orange but boy am I glad it's in there. The stripes are always something I love to see popping up in her clothes because I just love how she works them. Accessories are also super fresh here; the necklaces are absolutely out of this world. The shoes are great although they remind me a bit of the lace-effect Alaia's... though that isn't a terrible thing. The menswear is beautiful as well; handsome and a bit refined but with much of her signature quirkiness maintained. Such a great collection... go Ann!
