Balmain S/S 2023 Paris

Hideous! I punished myself by watching this thing live and it seemed beyond endless, it kept getting worse and worse…a nightmare. Everything in each look is fighting to become a statement: gigantic shoes, big belts and jewelry, prints, trains…it’s so exhausting.

He seems to have discovered Westwood’s use of Boucher prints…as if his clothes weren’t heavy and overwrought enough! Those Philipp Plein-esque dresses at the end are a spawn from hell.

Too much of everything!
The only time he actually seems to consider the human wearing his clothes is when he does anything form-fitting. But as soon as he adds volume and moves his fabrics away from the body it just ends up looking like the wearer is diconnected from the clothes. Shapes and proportions just look off, unflattering or suffocating. It's annoying to see how he continues to disregard the human body in his work.

Am over his heavy post apocalypse warrior look. When I saw the abstract floral print I expected something beautiful but its executed in a very heavy style. The plain earth tones had a little potential but look more like BCBG. And then those heavy shoes again

Well, the worst collection ever I saw in my entire life.

 

[Nomar]

Ridiculous and over-styled as usual.

 

[RaisinBoy]

No comment. It did aggravate my asthma though.

Cher collab?

Don't think it's a proper Cher collaboration, but she upstages the entire collection in 2:02.
