Chanel Pre-Fall 2026 New York

[couturefan]

When it comes to MB, Pieter Mulier, The Row, and Dario Vitale, Lauren Sherman is a fangirl first and foremost and a journalist second. Her podcast is even worse… it’s my favorite hate-listen
I also feel like she hasn’t had a real scoop in ages, f she ever had one.

Wasn't she first one to report Blazy was going to Chanel? That's a huge scoop.

^ No it was WWD..and before that actually a TFS member here brought it up he was being seriously considered.
But both Lauren and MissTweed both like to take credit for it..

There is some beautiful wardrobe pieces here but he is so weak in putting them together. Everything ends up looking old school. Who is styling his collections?

Just like the problem with his botega, he jumps in the complicated right away without ever laying out the backbone for his collections. We need to see his silhouettes in an immaculately tailored collection before he try to push all his experimentations. Otherwise, he will always be that guy who just do fabric experimentations without really any signature. And no, fabric manipulation isnt a aesthetic.

Oh lord… 🤷‍♂️

sick of this sort of cultural appropriation.
rich ladies portratiing those who face violence and r*pe at the dirty subway is NEVER a fun thing to do

Crime in the New York subway system is at a historic low, so this sort of argument reinforces right-wing talking points. I don't think your intentions are bad, but your rhetoric here mirrors the rhetoric used by conservatives to justify police harassment and violence. They make the subway—and New York in general—seem like an unsafe, dirty place in order to defend discriminatory practices like stop and frisk (and bloated police budgets in general).

I do agree with this in general, but let's be fair, if there's a place for experimentation with fabric (and embroidery, beading, lace, etc), it is a Métier d'art show.

This is incorrect.
The reason is that crimes are no longer being formally reported or logged.
If I were to be punched on the face by a crazy person on a subway platform today, it would NOT go on the log, because chances are they can't locate him.
Ask any female commuters. We have eyes. We wear shoes we can run in for a reason.

btw, they said how New York today is different from 2018. The biggest difference:
- Safety. Subway was way safer pre-covid
- Affordability.
The Governor just gave a speech today. The biggest topic? Safety.

Even the politician knows better not to mention crime stats. She knows that we know.

Sorry, but that's bullsh*t. You're speculating about violent crimes that do not exist. There is not some hidden or unreported plethora of assaults or murders. Violent crime is down across major urban areas in the US (Homicide, Other Violent Crimes Continue to Fall Below Pre-Pandemic Levels in U.S. Cities at Mid-Year) and specifically in NY subways (https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/sa...ounces-subway-crime-fell-historic-lows-summer). Anecdotal evidence ("ask any female commuters") is unreliable & statistically inconsequential. Again, all this sort of argument does is play into right-wing moral hysteria, which is then turned against people deemed "undesirable" or "criminal."

@Caffeine I’m not a line snob I promise lol but that’s all 4/5/6 stuff right? do the cameras even work there? cause the A (closest to where I live and all new trains) has multiple cameras in every car and stop plus officers coming in and out. Someone put a knife on my ribcage last year and the person got off and they quickly located him days later just going by the car number.

I see stilettos in New York but only on Friday nights and among what I assume are college girls. I do change shoes at work just because I walk a lot and I don’t want blisters, not so much because I’m scared.. lord knows the one time *I* chased a homeless man, it was 7 am and I was in my Demeulemeester stupidly high laceups.. but unlike him, I was full of protein, had a nice sleep and was ready to destroy his face for doing what he did lol. Crazy met crazier.

"On Tuesday, the mayor and police commissioner touted a citywide drop in crime, including major crime in the subway, down over 4%. But felony assaults are up 17% year to date."

Subway assaults rise as overall crime remains low

The NYPD blames some of the assaults on mental illness.

Bringing politics into this debate doesn't help your case. Cursing doesn't either. You can leave those to reddit, because we're talking fashion here...

as in, fashion needs to be practical. If MB chose to show his fashion ideas on a subway platform (esp. the edge of the platform), I would expect the fashion to be compatible. The show and your comments demonstrated how little some men appreciate women. But this is consistent with his clothing which usually disregard the female curves or female preferences.

It happened on a transit hub platform (before the national guard was deployed by the Governor.)

I used to wear louboutins to work. no blisters! I could walk in them for 3-4 hours! But that was the olden days.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience...it is horrifying!
A few weeks ago, when i walked upstairs exiting the subway station with my kids to school, two people were dealing drugs on the stairs. My kids walked by them, and the older one was aware. He was shaken. This was the first time since 2017. Part of me wanted to protect them and drive them to school, but part of me wanted them to see the real city, because the last thing I wanted is to hear "hi mom, crimes up is a right wing conspiracy!"

Well it's a political matter. False claims of rising violence, across the US, were central to Eric Adams' mayoral campaign. They've also been a major factor in recent San Francisco elections, etc. These claims then get turned against people of colour, the homeless, etc.

And you should read your sources more carefully instead of cherrypicking data from them. As the article you linked to states, "over 36% of the assaults were on NYPD officers and MTA employees." That suggests something quite different from an epidemic of unchecked, random violence against women. This is not to excuse assaults on MTA employees (I could care less about the racist NYPD), but let's be real—the stats here do not reflect right-wing narratives of unchecked, randomly targeted crime.
