Seriously, even if I always find it frustrating that his RTW is an edited, stripped down version of his Couture, I love this simply because I loved his Couture!
The white and red suits are simply exquisite. The flapper white dress, the velvet dress with feather hems, the black velvet dress with gold embroideries, the black sweater with the velvet skirt…So fabulous!
The bodycon column dresses are really not my thing…from anybody at this point.
The choice of model is perfect.
In the « sexy » lane, Alexandre is currently above all the rest for me.
This collection is really strong and some of the looks made me think of Alaia, in a good way. Perhaps it should have been him going to that brand.
Alaia or even Tom Ford (If he wants to retire from designing).
I feel like everything Alexandre needs is some heritage or archives to expand his POV. Because the techniques and the quality are there.
I’ve always felt like for someone who worked for both Gaultier and Mugler, he wasn’t as crazy as you would expect (Someone like Nicolas, you really see the influence of Gaultier in his work and his obsession of mixing things). It’s true that he has always said that Karl was his favorite designer but still, I always want Alexandre to push himself even further.
