Charles Jeffrey Loverboy S/S 2025 London

Why is this so infantile looking? Does queerness have to be presented as if we're obsessed with dressing up like children playing dress ups? We're never gonna beat the pedophile allegations 🙃
 
He should just stick to mens, and 100% no to that last gown, so badly made and so not him, looks like an afterthought, so desperate to outbid Dilara or Harris or even Robert Wu or any drag queen designers
I don't mind the banana boots or some of the shirtings and knits here; if he present them on proper models and change the music, change the set, and style it differently, it can be Comme des Garçons Shirt in Westwood colours
 
People need to start asking 'why' before starting up fashion brands. Like whats the point of the brand? Who is going to wear it? Where?When?Why?
The brand was initially created to serve the sartorial needs of his "queer community".

The only thing is that the brand is now 10 years old (this is an anniversary show) and is still in financial difficulty. The designer was the winner of the 2018 LVMH Prize and now he's a finalist of the ANDAM Prize.

My hunch is that his customers base has aged out of his very youth-centric aesthetic.

exactly, some niche's are risky because that same community is served by literally every brand.

Wait! This guy won the LVMH Prize??? And he is a finalist of ANDAM??? Either the juries are blind...or this guy has amazing oral skills...(even maybe both at the same time?)

I gathered that he was invested by some random showroom $$, but did he ever win any BFC Vogue funding $$$?

Aside from the clothes, I think turning a business around its hard enough as it in, and without the capital, it is even harder. Most London designers struggle from doing just wholesale, and with few accounts or big departments gone after COVID, everyone is trying to do DTC with their website or custom make like Richard Quinn or collabs like JW, but you need buzz to do collabs

If good designer Christopher Kane (not the same generation I know) went out of business... The rest of London that we roast here every fashion month, they aren't proper businesses from Harris to Dilara to Robert Wu to whoever, they are just burning cash and it is all smoke and mirrors and just social media
