In the sea of commerce that is nyfw its refreshing to see ideas that revolve around design and fabrication instead of styling or shallow ideas of looking cool.

with that comes issues, some outfits are barely hanging on the body, I can’t imagine these clothes moving in a nice way.

I always wonder about these castings, which are more extreme in New York these days. While I applaud the idea of diversity, here it overpowers the clothes, I see a lot of character and I almost don’t see the clothes, this can be a good and a bad thing, but I find it out of balance here, so much ideas and design could use a more plain canvas.

Rather unimpressive…
I feel like the casting and the whole vibe carry the collection. But, there are two looks that standout: the knitted tank top with the voluminous pant and the look after, the menswear one with the big coat…
Fabulous!

SATC was way ahead of the game lol, remember that episode about a horrible charity fashion show with "real people" where Carrie trips and everyone's wearing a bunch of rags from a variety of designers and also look kind of deformed or plain s*itty but somehow smug like "you don't get it, it's F-A-S-H-I-O-N"..? NYFW in a nutshell. Just because someone stands out or becomes some semi celebrity at Lucien, that does not mean their appeal is not conditional to knowing who they are, who they know or what they've been doing socially.. if you take these tiny status symbols confined to New York life out of the equation and insert the people as plain bodies into a collection (which is a bunch of clothes with some kind of theme that you have to sell within six months) in a relatively international event, charm's automatically out and it just magnifies some of their life choices.. the guy in the opening look has really just the cringiest tattoos I've seen in a while and his look almost makes me want to Venmo him 20 dlls (what are those boots? used Jeffrey Campbell from 2011?), first pink look screams too many encounters with meth, Camilla Deterre is, like any normal non-model person, only able to look good if you put her in a good outfit (Lemaire), put her in that thing that flatters no one and you kind of just see tension.

I don't know, horrible show as usual.. they're like Imitation of Christ a hundred years ago, just these vapid labels with completely disposable clothes that fraudulently survive for a surprisingly long time by marketing themselves as some 'if you know, you know' hidden jewel of all things cool and catering and mingling with people who will be no one in ten years from now but who will right now 100% invest on something worn by someone in the show because they once shared tables with them lol..

If one takes it all apart there are some interesting pieces though that opening look is hideous. At least its better than alot of the tacky Shein and Fashionova replicas we have been seeing inNY.

 

[jeanclaude]

"Fabric dumpster" comes to my mind...

 

[YohjiAddict]

This show makes me want to take a bath!

Some great and interesting pieces that are lost in what looks like a UAL/CSM knitwear student's studio of too many samples that are used as a comment being pro-anti something but doesn't really go any further than that. I quite like the sheer pale knit (?) pieces but wished they did some more interesting cuts incorporated into them rather than only looking at a generic 'front-back' panel shape. I also hate that sequin fabric; you can see the slight fuzziness of the backing which reads as a cheap stretch interfacing base rather than a stretch (or bias-cut) chiffon/georgette base fabric.

For a city that harps on about being the "centre of art and creativity", they really do have an insular POV of what that can be.

Now, this is the kind of review I like to read for a show.

This is one of your best, Mullet.

always a cautionary tale that the "new wave" of design kids becomes so boring and tired after , well, 10 years in this case.
Happy Anniversary! You're all grown up now and become boring ;-)
