Some looks are gorgeous, some other felt just blatant copies.

It is all over the place like he did not manage to make a definitive choice and ending up showing multiple different silhouettes which are not really coherent with each other.

We are so far from his ‘Carine Roitfeld is my muse’ era. 😂

In the past american brands would pay french couture houses for rights to replicate their designs and then sell them. This is exactly how this collection feels.

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

I like it a lot.
From the time where he was copypasting Prada to this you see the effort and the elevation.
I know that makes some women dream.

His references are all over the place but with the Proenza duo only knocking off specific designers to make a coherent coection, I don't know which direction is the worse.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

Still trying to make sense of this brand after all these years of it being in business. Remember when he was all about the tie-dye? Then the Prada-esque split skirts?

It is a “nice” collection. So easy to consume yet there’s zero flavour. I just don’t get it.

How am I supposed to choose which yarn loop faux fur coat to get when approximately everyone is putting out the same thing ??

 

[Alquimista]

So dated looking. Can't believe this is what passes for "modern" fashion nowadays.

 

[Nimsay]

Some cute stuff. A lot of dupes, way too many.

The best look is the orchid print sheer shirt dress, that would be a spectacular for layering.

Let’s be honest, Altuzarra has always copied whatever is trendy. At a time it was Tom Ford, then Prada, now… PP/The Row…

He doesn’t have a signature. I think his signature might be that the way he copies make the garments look kind of cheap and bad finished. Like, it can be good but it ends being almost good and a little bit cheap.

Nevertheless, there are several beautiful pieces in the collection. Just average beautiful, but I can imagine some women would like to wear some of it.

I didn’t expect Tom Ford by Peter Hawkings to be copied ever and already.
Joseph’s moodboards are just random. He copies everything and everybody lol.

I think he deserves to be at an Italian house nevertheless. He can use his talents copying a house’s archives instead of his contemporaries.

Frankly, that's what the old money/quiet luxury crowds chasing for

He's such a peculiar case, because he is more skilled technically than a lot of other designers of his generation, he just has no perspective. I sometimes wonder how he'd have fared as creative director of another brand—something with a substantial archive for him to work with. Maybe Chloe or Rochas would've been... disciplining?

Yes, a lot of NYFW is still stuck in this Bonwit Teller mindset, but Bonwit Teller never claimed their designs as their own creations.
