Alaïa S/F 2025 Paris

Hmm I can’t with him.
It’s never about the women or the body. It’s just a design project.
Alaia was a master of proportion and here we have this.

Even the boleros that are inspired by mid 2006/2007 Alaia are just like a botched interpretation of the archives.

But somehow, all my girl friends loves his work…Even though they will never be caught dead in one of those mis-shapes.
 
God I can't stand his vision for the Alaia woman. It's so stiff, overwrought and oppressive. Nothing sensual or audacious about her, nor classical. The collection is a technical delight when you strip it down to the basics, but beyond that it serves zero purpose or reality. Which is what is so odd, because despite all the technical underpinnings Azzedine was known for, he was a master at making items for the everyday wardrobe. Pieces you'd hold onto and pass on.

Pieter's vision is sterile and sexless. A petri dish of astringent pretension.

Not only that
Pieters Alaia woman is a size 0 nothing above that exists for him which is sad and alarming actually
 
Nope she has a different body type, her arms and waist are slimmer and she has longer legs than the model in the video posted.
Looking closely at the looks I noticed that it could be Sora Choi, who wore a similar look
 
These Instagram people really get on my nerve they're so stupid what is this even mean.
She is not some random "Instagram" person. She's a consultant who has worked for some of the most prominent and successful luxury brands. She normally has very good analysis.
 
Beyond Daria, there were some details that were giving Céline, not the minimalistic Céline, but the more arty, towards the end of Phoebe's era.
Lady Junon's first comment was on point.

she is analyst in luxury like luca solca etc they are paid to have an opinion on branding etc and she is right nonetheless how annoying she writes it but thats her style of saying things on social no BS

like her delivery or not she does not hold back on her point of view in public while most play suck up game publicly but privately speak like this.

and she is actually in the business for many year and worked at many of the big fashion groups.

but sure listen to who you like to agree with its fine by me guys :-)
 
Exactement! So Daria Werbowy = Céline by Phoebe Philo now? LOL.

These people are delulu. They think Phoebe discovered Daria. For goodness sake!
did she write daria ! ?
she spoke of the total image of the adv and you can't deny that even beyond Daria this is not a sexy (because the shoes) Phoebe Celine vibe
- the chair and the location and even light of photography
- the polished but in a gallery or construction site of a fancy modern empty interior building expressing rawness as backdrop to the polishednes of - the clothes and the woman.
- even same photographer
- same model just for facts purposes lol

there so many examples much more even the dark lip on old celine daria adv , angles light set mood etc etc

I've got to love it for how literally high-fashion and high-culture it is. In a time when so many brands are either being flashy or just selling bread & butter, Mulier keeps pushing the envelope even though he could easily present a bunch of neat little dresses with perforated skirts and leather jackets with some sexy shoes and secure himself wider approval. Not saying everything works (the mismatched footwear on some of the looks is not really elevating things + similar to Prada, there could've been less of those broad-in-the-hips skirts), but I appreciate his ability and willingness to cut, drape, sculpt and overall experiment with silhouettes and textures on a level that is pretty up there - very much what people said Blazy was doing at BV (but wasn't quite), at least in my opinion.
In theory, I am all for pushing the envelope, exploring the limits of your will and art,

In reality, you need self-awareness, or ruthless muses, to tell you; "did I just made jellyfish dresses out of condom-like fabric?", then you either step back, or if you're Walter von Bereindonk or Franco Moschino, you just assume and go for it . Alaïa it is not.
 
The way he tries SO hard, so much effort but the end results makes you feel little. There is no emotion, no life. He takes on some of the aesthetics of minimalist designers but removes all the ease and effortlessness. These women look so restricted and it’s painful to watch.
