Her mood board was filled with the whole Balenciaga S/S 2002 collection, huh?

 

[Page666]

She must have an insane Balenciaga by Nicolas ghesquiere archive..

 

[GivenchyAddict]

Very funny from someone who had a huge tantrum at iro store years ago because they copied her now ripping off another designer…

I guess she used all her stocks of Californian free people references now.

 

[jeanclaude]

What is this..."Maranciaga"??? Does she really think people has amnesia, and that we are unable to remember Balenciaga S/S 2002... or what??

 

[Fulton St Critique]

Ugh I love her, but each season is worse than the last.

Such weird cargo pants, the menswear is so distasteful, and the whole collections lacks any of that “cool” factor that helped distinguish the label in the first place.

 

[THD96]

I don't know why she is out here doing all of these when she has an opportunity to snatch all of Chloé's clients to her side since the brand is currently a mess right now.

Sorry Isabel, if we want Nicolas Balenciaga, we'll go to 1stdibs.

 

[reese06]

Why does she even have menswear? She copied Nicholas for women and then left the menswear completely and utterly bland. I don't understand.

I want some vintage Balenciaga redux too.

 

[FashionFanatico]

once a leader in her field, she bacame just a clueless follower.
dont' get me started on these Birkenstocks knockoffs on the men! just pityful.

 

[Kennnnn]

The best look in this collection is what she wore for her runway bow

 

[perhydrol]

I think the state of her brand in terms of aesthetic is a direct effect of hiring a new artistic director some time ago. I don't know, this collection is very easy to the eye and for sure reflects Isabel's style, but it's somehow not convincing and almost too trendy.

 

[YohjiAddict]

I tend to dislike her spring collections and this one is no exception, very barebones and lacking that confident nonchalance of hers. You see it once and forget all about it instantly.

Besides the heavy use of certain references, there are a few ok pieces: the dress with a scalloped hem trimmed with lace, the white jersey dresses and the flounced pieces.

 

[gossiping]

this is really quite boring, her shows are getting a bit boring in the collections now - it's more about the front row and influencers which is a shame because her stuff used to be great

 

[Les_Sucettes]

I used to have a wardrobe full of IM, so i have more than half of this collection. The silhouettes are always exactly the same, I have at least 3 IM dresses that look exactly like that short black one with the zipper. I just archived most of this sh*t because i’m just way too old for it now, this look does not talk to me anymore, I simply cannot understand how she does not feel the need to evolve and try something else. What type of public is this for?
