when will this post-soviet antifashion style bubble burst?

it's not shocking or cool anymore, just overly annoying.

There are clothes that weren’t at the show...

Weird.

 

[kenndale]

This is physically hard to look at and nothing looks appealing.

 

[Scotty]

Ugh. Tired of the cheap aesthetics.

I've never take any photograph class and I bet I could take better pictures than this with my iPhone.

The Russians took over the American government and they took over the fashion world! When will it end?

Weird.

That’s because this is Pre-Fall 2018. Saint Laurent does the same thing, they call Pre-Fall “Fall” and the F/W runway collection “Winter”.

Gvasalia is not Russian. It is utterly offensive to blend us all post-soviets into one nation. Particularly, Georgians who have been historically and also currently suppressed by Russia. If you are referring to Soviet aesthetic than bare in mind that the union was made up of 15 republics.

I also don't recall such or similar clothes being worn during Soviet times. His previous collections had the stronger influence from this period.

Yes, right now Balenciaga is on top, but I think he needs to move on in order for it not getting stale and irrelevant like Vetements

Lipkin is from Latvia, Gvasalia - Georgia. Soviet Union was UNION of multiple nations not just Russia. Campaign is still boring and cheap but not as Soviet looking as previous ones.

a new low. enough, next

 

[YohjiAddict]

The collection was so good...this is dismal

 

[GivenchyHomme]

Love it or hate it you have to give him props for bringing this brand back to life. Those 3 dark years of Alexander Wang almost brought this house down. He found his formula and now he just needs to mix it up a bit. Trends fade.

 

[Lola701]

This is Prefall.
I kinda like it. It's simple, low budget and pretentious but i love it...

 

[YohjiAddict]

If it's just Pre it's just alright but he should consider getting Sims or someone with a strong aesthetic to the main campaigns...

 

[Nomar]

I don't get the hate for this. I think it's great, nice and simple.
