Most people will talk about the naked male model, Laurent Marchand. Perhaps they might talk about a fabulous "V" like reveal of the model to lizard alien face (spectacular makeup on that one BTW). If that's all people talk about though, that would be a shame. I first saw these gimmicks as just that, something that a lesser talent would pull just for the sake of publicity. Then I read the designer's statement of how this collection was "inspired by the daring, outspoken and misbehaved". Also, "centralized around the unconventional, & challenging boundaries". Now it makes more sense.
The rest of the runway was indeed very sexy, but it had a lot of gorgeous looks too. Definitely figure-hugging and not for the timid. The Project Runway alum has already shown more growth from his spring show. I still think his collection is begging for some high drama pop divas to showcase them properly on stage. Now that he has the world's attention, I hope Michael Costello can focus on pure, fashion design with the distractions. They are showstoppers in their own right.
