While there is a bit too much of the 80s vibe in newcomer Douglas Reker‘s collections, I do very much like some of the gorgeous dye treatments, patent leather embellishment, and many of the silhouettes. He’s only released two collections so far (S/S 09 and F/W 09) and both collections reveal that Reker has some growing to do; however, if he can establish a cohesive vision he definitely has the potential to expand.
