Some of the pieces that caught my eye, followed by an initial reaction to the collection:











My initial reaction is that this collection is most likely the weakest one since probably S/S '10. There are honestly more ugly, entirely unwearable pieces than there are attractive, wearable ones. Some patterns are good (art-deco, Nordic, flower/vine) and some really really bad ones that are used wayyyy to often. Shoes this season are a rather lame rehash of last seasons, with slightly worse design. Some of the hats and bags and scarfs are pretty great though. Shirting is almost completely bad, some pants look decent. Most surprisingly, the outerwear is almost a total loss. I could barely find 2 pieces out of like 15-20 that I'd actually wear, let alone drop a grand on. I have a lot of faith in WM as a company, and I really hope this isn't the collection that spells their doom.

The only piece that looks mildly interesting



Even the day packs look terrible....

Wonder how it did for stockists. Keep an eye on yoox btw, picked up some basic wm cargos (I think fw11) today.

May have a preview of ss13 next week

It is a size 2. You are right. It really is a nice piece but not sure if it is for me.

Let me know if you are interested.

That's a pretty nice piece. What size is it?

Seriously one of my favorite WM pieces. Looks kind of hard to pull off though.
