I wasnt impressed by his last SS collection mainly because of the poor choice of materials, but it appears his shapes and cuts work way better with winter fabrics.
Unfortunately I couldnt take any pics, but I plan on going back to the shop next month and grab a thing or two.
My favorite item : the oversized double breasted jacket with shawl collar. It's very boxy and bulbous when closed, so it kinda looks like a blouson and is great for layering.


They also have these wool shirts that can be worn tucked in a pair of pants, as well as a jacket (these are lined), depending on the size you get.

Loved this oversized (and long !) shirt, will grab it with a pair of pants :

LOTS of pants in a large palette of colours and fabrics (soft wool, heavy wool, cotton, wool/cotton blend) :
- Wide and double pleated - nice, but maybe overdesigned
- Very wide on the thighs and tappered from the knee down. Single pleated. My favorite.
- Same as above but double pleated.
- Slightly wide on the thighs and tappered from the knee down (somewhat similar to DVN). Single pleated.
- Same as above but double pleated.
- Straight (maybe slightly tappered), single pleated.
The long coat is very Damir : falling under the knee, wide sleeves. Didnt really like the feel of the fabric, it's a very itchy tweed, also used on some of the jackets.
There's an oversized cotton trench coat that is really nice.
And some gorgeous knits (patchwork and cable sweater, waffle textured cardigan, etc).
Prices are okay too. Most expensive garment was a 900 euros coat, but the jackets are 500/600 euros. Same price point as Stephan Schneider I'd say so sometimes it may appear a bit incohesive.
