I don’t think your critique really holds weight. I would agree with you if certain looks from this collection were outright rip-offs of the ones you mentioned, but that’s not the case here. You speak as if referencing, borrowing, or drawing inspiration from fashion history is somehow shameful, when in reality that’s the very essence of how fashion has always evolved.@Kanzai .....the Balenciaga cocoon silhouettes, Claude Montana shoulders, the refrigerator coat. its just prada fw 2022 & prada fw 2002
the main stylist and co stylist consulted is even a big prada fan
thats all
Dear Kanzai,I don’t think your critique really holds weight. I would agree with you if certain looks from this collection were outright rip-offs of the ones you mentioned, but that’s not the case here. You speak as if referencing, borrowing, or drawing inspiration from fashion history is somehow shameful, when in reality that’s the very essence of how fashion has always evolved.
If designers throughout history hadn’t created by building on each other’s work, fashion would’ve died a long time ago. Miuccia never demanded a patent for her silhouettes - nor did any truly great designer ever talking trash about later generations rip off their iconic works.
Listing a bunch of elements that resemble past collections just to prove how ‘sharp’ your eye is? That’s not critique - that’s flexing for the sake of it.
its just a joke (Demna phoned in his comments for the collection)What does Gucci by Demna via phone call mean???

yes, plus it's too pretty to be the Demna we knew.Whoever is saying that Demna briefed for this collection clearly doesn't have a clue of how the business works.
It's clear to the trained eye that this collection was conceived by the design team with little to (most likely) close to zero input from Demna, it looks extremely similar to the FW23 studio one, from the silhouette to the styling. You can also see the input from Cantino with the Vaccarello x Saint Laurent looks he's obsessed with (pencil skirt + fur collar suit jacket) and the Tom Ford-esque with the chunky shades. The only few looks that actually resembles Demna are the high waisted leggings paired with boxy shoulder p*ssy bows shirts, but remember: that's a silhouette from 2018 Demna, not recent at all. Also Lallo released bow shirts from his debut collection, it's not a Demna trademark at all. The accessories are also very basic so there is no way there's any Demna input in that department too.
I understand the show might pass for Demna vibes to the untrained eye, but the collection is basically studio coded + Cantino input.
