I like it, but it doesn't feel quite right for a house like Courrèges. Still the better version of Jacquemus though.

It's his most Helmut Lang-ish collection to date, but considering the price point of Courrèges, it's also really strong. It may be the most interesting interpretation of this beach theme that seems to be trending this season. I feel like Di Felice is already moving on towards a slightly different direction, let's see how it develops because I can see a lot of potential in this new vision, not to mention that he managed to resurrect the brand.

It's a good show. The set, the music, and the lighting help to create a mood and a strong impression for the collection.

Kudos to Marie Chaix, she helps with her smart styling to help elevate what is essentially just very easy-to-wear merchandise.
I can see a strong hint of Helmut Lang and a sprinkle of NG Balenciaga here and there.
There are great separate pieces. The outerwears are good, with little extra details that make the basic essential more interesting.

But still, he needs to streamline his vision and know when to stop before the clothes become too complicated.
The trousers with the weird crotch cutouts can go.
The execution of the final dresses can be better, they look weird in motion.

Overall there is room for improvement but it's great that he is evolving.

It's nice to see him pushing himself a bit with the looser silhouettes but there definitely needs to be more work done. His strength is still with those tight and sexy fits. This collection also paired quite well with his most recent men's collection too which is great.

Set and music are amazing as always!

I loved it. His stronger, most directional, most diverse and probably most personal collection to date.
I like that I see the direct references but it’s done with some kind of subtlety and cleanliness. Helmut Lang SS01 And SS04 and Balenciaga by NG FW04 inspired a lot of this…But it works for Courreges. And it’s an interesting take on the Y2K trend.

I can see Carine Roitfeld wearing the skirts and the kitten heels but I also can see a different women being attracted to this. It doesn’t scream Gen-Z.
And it’s honestly done. A bit unfair to compare this to Jacquemus as it’s really superior.

And fabulous presentation too. A win!
Bravo Nicolas!
One thing about Ghesquiere, all his alumni have it!

I like some of this but overall it feels kind of sparse?

Di Felice once said that he related to André's "sparseness" or something like that.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

A bit too bare bones for my liking but I can see the appeal of it. It's done well and is very refined in fabrications.

There is something about this make me feel that this is what Ludovic thinks he's doing in parts at his own brand.

i hope the crotch cutouts end here. between this and burberry i cannot deal

 

[jeanclaude]

I like the look worn by Liya Kebede. The rest is too Jacquemus/trashy for my taste.

 

[YohjiAddict]

It seemed good to me, after taking a look at the details I can appreciate it better but I still believe that without Chaix contribution I wouldn’t even have payed much attention to it.

I did enjoy watching the show for the installation placed in the middle of the venue, the lighting and the cast, which were all divine.

I like the look worn by Liya Kebede. The rest is too Jacquemus/trashy for my taste.

I’m sure it’s because they source fabrics at similar spots. The price points are comparable, so I can see the similarities. Still this seems more pleasant and genuine that Jacquemus.

 

[gossiping]

not really into this, i usually love his shows but this was a bit bland

 

[LadyJunon]

This set is so beautiful. Apparently, the sand was made with crushed nutshells.

I'm happy that the revival under Di Felice is so successful. Since his arrival, they've opened a second boutique in Paris and a third in New York. Hopefully, he can improve on his menswear, accessories and shoes.
