Bottega Veneta looks excellent, as always. Understated luxury in its presentation, nothing is loud but of obvious high quality, unconventional designs to stay fresh, good color coordination in the outfits... not gimmicky like many of the new designers that come and go every couple of years. Just fantastic. Same goes for Jil "not really Jil Sander" Sander. Raf Simons has really made his mark in a positive way.
Dolce & Gabbana also looks good. The lapels on the jackets really bug me with that reflecting lining... kind of garish. Otherwise solid and presentable. D&G has an interesting theme going on, they'd be a great experimental diffusion line like Y-3 or something if they didn't make so many hideous logo t-shirts that LA folk eat up.
I like Ferragamo's direction, cool coats & boots sort of remind me of Victorian horse racing. Not sure on some of the outfits or execution...
AMQ doesn't even look wearable outside of a costume party. Burberry & Prada = yawn. When was the last time anything by Versace was attractive? Terrible, and diffusion lines doing it no favors.
