I really dig all the knotted shirts and cardigans (à la Armani) and the twin-set on look 27... Those are mine...
The rest can burn...

design, styling and references shortcomings aside, he's really bad with colours... the palette brings everything further down, its so washed out and unflattering

Merchandise, products, stuff….

This wouldn’t have been worth actually presenting on a runway, let alone a destination runway. One of the people in Hong Kong in charge of this probably felt insulted and told Kim to F off with his lazy @$$ pre-fall show.

Merchandise, products, stuff….

It really is. Just…stuff that can quickly be sold at retail, and, unfortunately, be quickly forgotten about by customers. I know this is a pre-fall collection, but my thought also applies to his mainline collections. There’s simply no “look” (especially not a menswear New Look, a la Hedi, from, like, from 20 years ago) to any collections under his name.

For a while, I thought he was going upwards & onwards w/ LV and at the start of his tenure at Dior, but I guess that Fendi gig really did him in here.

Taking into consideration Kim loves collaborations I ask...is this collection a collab with Mary Grace, or what??
Even a still-life paint, from the most depressing of painters out there, feels more alive than this lookbook...

He is slipping at Dior Homme now. I think the last few collections have not been for the same man. DH is supposed to be La Defense Wear. the whole brilliance of HS DH was that one could wear high fashion to work and not look like a attention seeking person with poor socialization. DH is totally not that anymoere, its honestly like golf club clothes for the most part...

I find that menswear has really been having this "dorky" energy lately. Completely void of any sensuality or self-esteem.

he's notoriously lazy, just giving prompts to his studio (and collabs sometimes) and then returning every two weeks to add his input, or greenlight what the studio proposes.

 

[tourbillions]

atleast they saved us from seeing all of these in a show. They're nice merchandise just not sure if it needs a designer to do any of these, they can keep him there as long as mary grace is there i guess. They can bore themselves together but get him out of Fendi already.

 

[lhhbl]

Not mad at it. Last look is quite fabulous actually. Look 3 as well.

Overall it looks well-made even though a lot of the things are pretty basic.

Glad it wasn't presented on a show format though. It could've gotten pretty boring.

It shows.

It’s so heartwarmingly hilarious that with just one single showing, a non-designer like Pharrell has effortlessly wiped out what this person has been doing for over 25 years in the industry— with a strong direction, and with an understanding of various cutting and construction, to boot. That Kim’s not just gainfully employed (while the likes of Vauthier/Ackermann/Rucci are struggling), but ascending to the highest positions of the most high-profile bluechip brands, all the while reliably regressing as a creative/designer as he climbs higher, is such a reason why this person is the posterboy for absolute mediocrity LMFAO

And it’s the plainest Janes like Kim/Edward/Sean McGirr, that have been blessed/privileged/anointed with all the best, most exclusive opportunities in the industries— and have consistently churned out the minimum of mediocrity even at their best, is why I’m convinced the devil is very real and offering these Faustian pacts with the most blandest, untalented of mere mortals.

(And yes— his reliably, consistently dowdy peasant's color-palette never ceases to amuse me…)
