Can't agree with you,
babybean . Granted, I'm a huge fan of the old leather and colors and have a robust collection of 04s and 05s thats I love dearly. I still prefer black from 03-05 to anything later. I've also noticed that much of the old leather seems so evenly and perfectly dyed, as though they came that way from red, blue, pink, and green goats (yes, I still believe they're goat and don't entirely buy the story about the whole thing being one gigantic typo).
But F/W 07 is my favorite Bal season of all time, both in terms of the leather quality and overall hit factor of the colors. Cinnamon, Sienna, Steel, Violet, Jaune, Ivory, Pine, Vert Fonce, Tomato. My goodness!! There is no other season that's gotten under my skin as thoroughly as F/W 07. And the leather has been consistently off the charts yummy and seriously drool inducing. I prefer Jaune to 04 Marigold, Violet to Eggplant, Cinnamon to 05 Chocolate, Steel to 04 or 05 Grays, and Vert Fonce to 05 Olive.
But I do admit that 04 Turq blows any of the newer blues out of the water
