Dundas Haute Couture F/W 2019.20 Paris

Is this supposed to make me feel anything? I scrolled down without stopping once, it's boring me to death. I feel like I took a walk through an H&M aisle in my local mall. If not RTW, at least Couture is supposed to make you feel things, different things. It's supposed to be a fantasy. Why does fashion s*ck today?
 
Lmfao, Caroline Winberg. Because the collection wasn't boring enough on its own.
 
His designs are so flat and execution and details are so one dimensional since he left Pucci.

He's not pushing himself. This doesn't look like couture in any sense of the word.
 
Well it's pretty sad because after the Cavalli gig he has been creating a dated mess that is not even interesting or catching in any way. However I understand why he's been showing during the couture weeks: it would got totally lost during the rtw weeks. On the other hand, as we can see here, it's pretty confusing because Vogue runway claims that it's a couture line yet it's obviously not.
 
This is not Haute Couture. He is showing his RTW during Couture week but he is not a member or invited by the Federation. And the show is not listed in the calendar...

That being said, this is a terrible collection. What I don’t understand is what went wrong for Peter?
I’ve followed his work from Cavalli to Ungaro, from Ungaro to Revillon and from Revillon to Pucci. He is a great talent and has always been consistent with his aesthetic. I’ve always loved his work because it was sexy, it has a sense of emergency on it expression of the party girl and because he was able to design real clothes at the same time.

His first ever collection for Pucci remains one of my favorite collection of the 00´s.

This is all wrong: tacky, predictable and dated. Before I think he was able to touch a lot of different women and that’s why I loved about his work. On paper I was the opposite of his kind of women but actually I was or I could have been.

Eurotrash is fine when it has charm and culture. This is just bad and i’m Surprised it comes from him because he is more talented than that.
 
Talk about a mixed bag! I see resort, I see a vaguely strong RTW line, but I don't see autumn couture. There are some gems here, which if fine-tuned, could have resulted in a decent collection. The youthful energy for starters. It feels genuine and not forced. His trademark tawdriness. Some of the suit looks. But NO to the rest.
 
Random drapery of poorly chosen colors and prints. Its all so tacky!

Also, anything seems to be called couture these days. I don't see any difference between some of the collections shown today and RTW collections. In fact you'd find more inventiveness and better tailoring in some RTW collections. "High Sewing/Tailoring"? None of the pieces look like they took very long or a lot of thought to drape or construct.
 
What is missing in this is the editing eye and fabric choice that he had at Pucci. His collections at Pucci were focused, tasteful yet they were sleek, sexy and fun. This felt like he had a lot of freedom and just go for everything. At the end it felt contrived, overworked and all over the place.
 
The tan and pink draped dresses aren't that bad...but the rest you would only need to style it differently and it would fit right into one of Vetements' ironic trash-fests.
