/ This years General Idea show, also shown in New York, opened with new shapes for casual basics in khakis and whites with sky blue and bold red used as accents. It sort of had a country, quiet feel and then slowly out of nowhere a graphic type-face pattern appeared in white, black or beige, dominating the collection along with Jackson Pollock-like paint splashes. These bold patterns and paint splashes were used all over suit jackets and oversized trenches, raincoats and bags creating a very dramatic finale. However I found the relationship between the opening half and the closing half to be way too disconnected and it ended up feeling like two different collections. The first soft, casual & polite and the other aggressive, in your face & dramatic. /
