Balmain is so dated these days

 

[Nimsay]

The white tweed jacket cinched with a gold belt was a highlight, combining elegance with structure. The silver liquid pleat dress was a perfect 10, effortlessly capturing modern glamour. The black-and-white two-piece with exaggerated hips echoed the t-shirt collar layering motif seen throughout - that's cohesive design.

The collection felt overstuffed with ideas, with 84 looks being far too many. A tighter edit—halving the women’s line and trimming the men’s collection to around 12 pieces—would have helped.

The J’taime tuxedo shown with pearl pants was the sole standout from the men's offering amidst an underwhelming lineup.

Olivier is so lost in a sea of references to other designers, that I wonder if he is able to remember his own name...

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

A bit of Chanel, a bit of Schiaparelli, a bit of Rick Owens, a bit of drag race... Feels chaotic, messy, but also very fearless.
People who praise Nicolas for challenging us with ugliness, please have a look here.

Not directed to this alone, but it's gotten to the point where ANY kind of text on clothing reads as cheap logo product.

Man, I can't say I dislike it, but it's so dated.

 

[Norden]

It’s as if plein looked at a Schiaparelli show.
Those t*t tops will sell

It’s interesting that he has been doing the black and gold for years and it looks somehow like Schiaparelli now…
I like the Gaultier inspired trompe-l’œil but I think his cut needs to change.

It really seems like a waste of a good cut. It’s indeed dated.
He needs to relax a bit.
