Both Demna and Nicolas annoy me with every new collection they offer; there’s a smugness in their I-know-it's-ugly-but-I-know people-will-still-kill-for-it-cuz-I-designed-it that comes across from both that I find just so insufferable-- more so than the majority finding Maria Grazia or Virgil annoying. Those two are basics and what they’re doing now is the best that they’ve got, while Nicolas and Demna are very talented— and in Nicolas’ case, maybe even visionary. And for them to continue with their ironic, so-ugly-it’s-suppose-to-be-cool designs is verging on offensive and insulting.
Now that his Vuitton is always predictably extreme-maximalism and so overwrought, it would be so refreshing to see his couture as severe minimalism, and all about studied and restrained, disciplined lightness of being. He’s undeniably still a strong and unique designer with such a sharp focus, even if I’m not into his Vuitton. So couture from him (and Demna) would be something worthy to see (and I’m sure for some (Lola..???), worthy to experience.
