Chanel Pre-Fall 2026 New York
- Thread starter marines
- Start date
It hasn't even been a full year since a woman was burned alive on a train in NYC, whether crime has increased or decreased overall, there has been an escalation in the violence of crime. There was a trend of young women on tiktok showing the baggy cover ups they wear over their outfits on the subway to avoid drawing attention - no sequined wilma flintstone dresses.
When nobody attending the show actually uses public transport, it's always going to be more reminiscent of Versailles hamlet peasant cosplay - surely this was Charlotte Casiraghi's first time going through the turnstile. The old sets had a charm to them and were like a parodic fantasy of a supermarket or airport. I don't know who this was supposed to resonate with; the guests looked like they wanted hand sanitiser, the french only like the new york of a cassavetes or scorsese film, and most of their american big spenders would rather cosplay eloise at the plaza. When the train first pulled in, I thought it was an operating public train that was just going to speed through without stopping and actual commuters would get to glimpse the show, which might have been more interesting.
Anyway, those crossover skirts were bad enough the first time, and the random assortment of novelty bags feels like the same confusing line up of guests, trying to appeal to everyone and pleasing no one.

I don't see the issue here. Doesn't every woman want to have her AMcQ FW98 "Joan" moment?

^ ?? .. seriously wondering which country this sense of humor is from.
That incident was almost as horrific as the case of a man who was SA’d early this year in the R line, post-mortem. You should look it up.. and maybe wonder if that’s the kind of ‘moment’ you'd want...?
There is crime, like in any large city that hasn't had a stellar administration in a while and I don’t understand the point of denying it or normalizing it, and certainly not the point of going all fantasy, claiming it's Gotham City and clutching pearls at any sign of hostility or not so legal conduct and making it sound like it's the apocalypse of a once oh-so perfect city. I think there are more pressing issues such as the upcoming fare increase when they can't spend on an effin' hose to spray the hell out of Chambers.. they somehow had the budget to add spikes on turnstiles, but not for a bit of Lysol..? k. And don't get me started on the scam that is the OMNY card...
That being said, it's a fashion show, not a documentary, so while hideous location, I get why they'd opt for something more cinematic like that as opposed to something like Moynihan Train Hall, which looks like any other hauptbahnhof. Seedy is a bit NY.. it shouldn't look too clinical.

past video´s he was just as hard on Viard..so context is important with this praise
I actually think he nailed this one...
And it is just a continuation of the Chanel shrinkflation in the later VV years:
Pay more and get less.
Under vv you get cc logos everywhere. Worse fabric and no extra seam allowance.
Now they offer you BV or whatever derivative products you can find elsewhere for way less but they charge you Chanel prices. And the Dacob was really funny!

Bruno and Leena acting all elevated and above any other brand with the BV craft bullsh*t and then they end up doing collabs with lowest common denominator influencer. Kendall invited to the debut show releasing deep and meaningful statements as "I love the venue" and inviting Kylie to studio couture show last year (LOL) and gifting her the next it bag.
They are ridicolous

It's fun cause in my opinion that Cruise collection was rock bottom from the studio. Very Slavic influencer with 50k followers living Dubai and doing onlyfans as a side gig. Too saccharine, juvenile looking and very "influencer". Even the Villa D'Este venue was used in a very cheap way as the show backdrop. It was indeed giving escort girl spending the night with her sugar daddy at the 5 star ultraluxe hotel. The studio did an amazing job with the Metiers D'Art from last year.
