OK, This may be off-topic, but the models pictured here are alarmingly thin, to the point of looking emaciated. Surely other body types can be presented here?

Really? This is a new approach - basically mounds of cloth highlighting a return to anorexia? Bauhaus costumes meets cruelty...

Daniel Roseberry is to be celebrated
Finally! After what seems to be a very long time, a return to paying attention to a designer who is actually schooled and trained to be a designer in the more traditional sense (and it shows).
I wish him the best at Schiaparelli, and hope he heralds a return to the visions a creative mind dedicated to design as a craft and destination of its own (and not just a name on a label) can evoke.

If male models were forced into anorexia and then had to pose in miles of fabric that no one, anywhere, could ever wear in the real world, it would be obvious that they were being humiliated and exploited for one person's "vision." If I were a model, I would refuse to pose in anything that wasn't meant to be worn by real people living real lives. If this fellow wants to be a "creative person", let him dress himself like that and walk down the street. then see if he is admired, or ridiculed.
