Spectacular. That's how I'd describe this show. It was extremely simple yet striking with the set and soundtrack. When it comes to the clothes, Di Felice knows perfectly what he's doing at the house and his confidence is more and more visible. That's a great thing, because there's this strategy of evolution, building up a whole fresh vocabulary for the brand.

What's also worth noticing is that the brand has a perfect timing right now. This season we've seen designers trying to be more sexy and free, but nobody has been as close to their goal as Nicolas. And I feel that it's him who puts to shame all the shein wannabes such as Jacquemus, because, while targeted at the young, his vision is rooted in reality, not in feed on the instagram.

The silhouettes are, again, simple and wearable, but at the same time it's a perfect mix of real fashion, attitude, wearability and archival pieces. The styling is also on point here.

At this point Courrèges is the only show that makes me really excited. I literally can't wait to see what's next for them.

I not really fond with the first 3 looks, they're just to stiff, heavy and too oversized. But overall I like this collection.

It's well made basic essential, easy to wear and sell. I like this direction for the house, Nicolas did a great job to modernize the archives for today clients. It's still have some unnecessary details like the trains on the last 2 looks.

People should buy this instead of Jacquemus.

I really liked this collection and I think it’s very much on the spirit of Courrèges.

Young, fresh and with edginess enough alongside being minimalistic.

Overall love, minus a few things. I really really need them to keep expanding into mens bc I will buy it lol. Looking at their online store I think the price point is good. Maybe a tad overpriced but I was just excited that there were no $1000 sweaters. The bar is low lmao

Vinyl, logos and more cutouts?? No thank you!

 

[disco54]

I really liked this! After seeing all the camp and cringy shows this season, this was like a nice breeze of fresh air. Minimal, futuristic, sexy, and glamorous. It achieves what Vuitton wants to be.

 

[gossiping]

obsessed. just like last season. best show in paris so far.

I am a 60s fanatic. That being said, I appreciate just how contemporary his approach to the label is. Rooted in the 60s, yet totally m…m…m… (yes I will say it) MODERN! Timeless more precisely. But yes, I would have to agree with @jeanclaude, the cutouts are totally unnecessary. He could do without the logos as well, but I would consider this to be the most successful and well thought out relaunch of a house in the past two decades.

No evolution since last season.
The collection is not ugly per se. It's just "cool", nothing special.

No statement, nothing new, nothing radical, no humor, no darkness, no poetry, no deepness, no heart, no soul.
Just "cool" clothes for "cool" hipsters in Paris and "cool" Instagram girls. You can shop the same stuff at Zara and Shein.
Courrèges, himself, was a visionary and avant-garde. I don't see any avant-garde there.

I don't understand why TFS are obsessed with this new Courrèges. Maybe by just not doing ugly clothes is already something important and unique nowadays ?

I think it's the opposite. They don't pretend that they've been doing something important or iconic, they're honest with their goal to produce wearable clothes and accessories. And, what might come as a surprise, it's in tune with André Courrèges' vision because, while he was a forward-thinking radical, he also wanted to see his clothes being worn by the people. After all, he wasn't Rabanne who used metal to create unwearable couture. Especially in the '70s he was moving towards more wearable propositions. He was an avant-garde designer because he was part of the Space Age movement, but it doesn't mean his collections were detached from reality completely.

I also don't get the need of having something dark or poetic from Courrèges tbh.

THIS!

The beauty of Courreges archive is how modern it still looks in todays fashions. I feel sorry for anyone on this thread who still has not looked at @justaguy and @VogueGirl8910 US Vogue archive threads from the 60's and 70's!

Di Felice is giving great respect to the heritage of the brand while making it relevant in 2021.

 

[Avonlea]

Hideous. Some garments look like they are about to fall apart. This is NYFW level of cheap.

 

[Nomar]

Not gonna lie but I'm a bit obsessed with this new Courrèges. It's so cool and chic while also looking so effortless. I'm really hoping that this brand doesn't get too popular so di Felice doesn't have to be another designer sellout.

 

[YohjiAddict]

The "cool" factor feels way too studied and contrived, the alternative-parisienne rendition of what's hot at the moment, presented in a beautiful outdoor location, but that doesn't amount to a very memorable or substantive proposition.

The clothes themselves are nothing special, some of them have quite shoddy finishings.
