Appreciation of the Bust Part Deux

>>Some designers can happily jump from one theme to another one in polar opposites from one season to the other.  Others prefer to hone in on a niche, continue doing so and try and gain a momentum.  Baptiste Viry is determined to etch into my brain, the notion that I should give waistcoats some serious thought.  His last collection was Praise of the Bust Part 1, and here comes A/W09 Part 2, where Viry is still very much appreciating the bust… or at least, a different kind of bust, looking at the model – i.e. the Fried Eggs category.  The last collection was modelled on a more endowed form and it is perhaps a statement on Viry's part that his waistcoats are meant for all shapes and sizes.  Nonetheless, the continuation of theme still plagues the brain with the question with whether me and a waistcoat will go hand in hand and look merry together.

  1. This should be a unisex collection, (if they could just change the dart a bit) – I would gobble them up!

  2. Vests are such a fun way to amp up an outfit. These are a bit too equestrian/outdoorsy for my taste though.

  3. i always used to change my design ideas for every project at uni and i was told off as i never stuck to one style. never understood what was wrong with that

  4. I love the styling in this shoot and the equestrian feel to the collection. I would wear any of these even if it meant strapping down my boobs!

  5. i am so in love. i think i prefer this to part one. i have a thing for vests and waistcoats. i think i have about 10 in my tiny little closet that is obviously overflowing, and i wouldn’t mind adding some of these to my collection! they look really well made and i love the details!

  6. Regardless of the implications for body types, I love these. The earthy colours and creative genius is fabulous, not to mention I really want anything suspender related.
    I agree with Belinda, wicked layering piece!

  7. I like them, and I am not much of a vest fan so thats saying something! However, I’m not really a fan of vests being worn open (and I don’t often make generalizations like that) but some of these are wicked in their own right and would probably look best worn open.
