Alaïa F/W 2022.23 Paris

[nastassia]

I'm kind of confused as to how almost zero industry people ever publicly critique anything. Ever. All reviews of this I've seen so far have been . I want someone to write an article saying "this is f*cking stupid". Maybe there would be some sort of cultural reset. So tired of e v e r y o n e jerking each other off

James Scully reviews collections in his IG stories, and he is pretty straightforward, which is incredibly refreshing...

I have to come back here to say I actually think this is one of the worst collections I’ve seen in my entire life.

Mulier seemed to make up for what might be a technical deficiency with spandex. The effect was less like a second second skin sculpted around the body and more like… a sock.

Maybe even more alarming is a lack of Mulier’s practical concern or pursuit of a viable wardrobe. Who are the women he means to wear these clothes and where does he expect them to wear them to? Has Mulier not conflated buxom Amazonian beauties with ‘90s drag queens?

The heavy fur trim, and bulky mermaid flares not only looked tawdry but reveal a man who is maybe more interested in his own ideas than getting a woman dressed.

Reminds me of YSL by Stefano Pilati

Perhaps this is why I find myself obsessing over it! Pilati's last collection for Yves Saint Laurent remains a personal fave of mine - and will do forever.

The black leather dress constructed of belts (very Tina Turner) is enough to make me go weak at the knees, as is the floor-length leather jacket dress shown straight after and the zebra print number toward the end of the show. Nothing but love for this!
