Hideous clothes, hideous models, hideous venue.

Let’s have the autopilot Hedi comments! Although admittedly this has been closer to his YSL menswear than what he did for Celine the last two years. I’d still take it over the insipid gimmicks everyone’s been throwing around all week. It’s still decent menswear that you can wear.

I’m waiting for the internet personalities who’d drag this through the mud while fawning over Ami because they were invited.

Looks like clearance sale time...let´s get rid of the old stock!!

Everything looks recycled here: the glam rock clothes, the models, the show, the lightning...

I would say although the vibe/energy is quite related to Hedi's Saint Laurent, I actually agree with a lot of the posters here who say it is recycled content from his earlier Celine Homme shows. They are struggling to articulate why, and are coming across as just bitter and out of touch, so I can lend them some help. A lot of the looks from previous Celine Homme (ss21 and onwards) collections can be transplanted onto Dysfunctional Bauhaus with minimal alterations.

One reviewer has described Hedi as a "Mood Board Stylist". They take the same concept, but make enough changes around it (setting, hair, shoes), to create a new feeling. The feeling can be so different that someone who likes one season, might absolutely hate another season without realizing how many similarities are actually present with the season they like. I feel like it nicely balances innovation and timelessness so that people will feel comfortable paying retail for pieces confident that they will not go out of style within a season.

Vaguely, and I mean VAGUELY reminds me of some of his old, old Dior Homme collections with all the pins and beaded tassels. Circa 2003.

I want to like it, or at least try to "get it." But, I just find this to be really cheesy. I'm sorry, this is a total CRINGE factory for me. He's trying so hard to be cool. And just look at him at the end of the show. He's not. At all.

I REALLY wish he'd stop with the crypt keeper casting. I'm not saying no to skinny models, but how about models who don't look like they're dying or strutting their way to their next methadone fix.

It's all one big cliché. I'm not going to deny the quality of these pieces - they do look very luxe - but the gimmicks with the styling has me doing one big dispirited sigh.

Maybe because it is feeding too much from past collections that this one really feels wholesale/duty free in look. But I don't entirely blame Hedi for this, the suits of many brands and conglomerates seem to be demanding this kind of look. Easy to market, easy to hype, easy to scale up in price yet so bland to look at.

I'm not going to lie, seeing more normal and conventionally attractive people wear Hedi's Boy Doll collection really made me see it in a more positive light. His casting and hair choice can often make the looks feel uglier, but I suspect that is his intention to give it that grittier feeling and energy and less of something that is conventionally beautiful.

I had different expectations seeing the invite and name of the collection. I was hoping for newness. Like Rick Owens, it always builds collection by collection with hedi.

I think with a hedi show the music and hair are almost as important as clothes are. The music I can’t hear, but in the hair a more fluid and longer line is repeated in some of the sheer and longer outfits.

the clothes themselves for 80% are a rehash of previous seasons. Which is so boring. I also still find it too early to bring back this highly passé 2005-07 look. Because truly it is that, it’s not some vintage rocker thing, it’s 2007 MySpace urban outfitters.
