Oops, I forgot the 3rd movie
Hedi did good shows, he has a precise vision and is fabulous menswear and creative director but tbh, from all the praises we had about his work prior to him venturing to womenswear, discovering what womenswear actually looked like from him was probably the biggest disappointment I have ever had in fashion.It's a international sport to trash Hedi´s work :-) so i don't measure the his merits by popular critic like the last show for me was heaven 1980´s trashy redone to the highest HC vibe it's in my top liked shows same Dior by Raf first HC show so precise, i can still watch it every year and it still cool to me both shows had this heightened feeling.
Vhernier is in direct competition with Pomellato... Stylistically and same market...Last August Kering bought 49% share of Vhernier, I wonder what happened after....Richemont just got it.

I will take Hedi´s comercial womens wear any day over Vaccarello sexed up version of Hedi recipe, one is original the other copied the home work well.Hedi did good shows, he has a precise vision and is fabulous menswear and creative director but tbh, from all the praises we had about his work prior to him venturing to womenswear, discovering what womenswear actually looked like from him was probably the biggest disappointment I have ever had in fashion.
And to add injury to insult, I was appalled by how unrelated to YSL his work was. I don’t think he understands the YSL woman at all but his genius is that he is so strong in his presentation that it becomes believable.
The Celine woman and the YSL woman are drastically different in terms of pure core aesthetic. Somehow it all seems related under the umbrella of « Bourgeoisie » and the layer of Hedi’s work.
But I still think he is not a great womenswear designer.
