From what I’m seeing, very Valentino by PPP and Alaia by Pieter.
Somehow, this ties a little bit to his historic work. When you look at Les Sentons de Provence and those collections, those silhouettes are quite reminiscent of that.
I’m still having a hard time with his side décolletés and how extreme they are but at the same time I don’t think having Adriana in them really works anyway.
Overall. It’s a little bit better than usual in a sense that it looks like he made an effort but I’m not terribly convinced yet.
I used to be a huge supporter of Simon but he has been very unfocused!
I wonder how Pieter feels…
What confuses me is that in reality his rtw is SO difficult to wear unless you’re a 5”2 size zero….. who is he creating for?!
Thankfully the brand doesn’t limit itself to runway stuff.
But his stuff has never been « easy to wear ». Ready to wear doesn’t mean easy to wear but there are pieces and accessories that are wearable. I think the most spectacular pieces will have a commercial version but will also look great in stores.
This is his first runway show since the opening of his stores internationally so maybe he is aiming at others things. Some Redcarpet numbers or « Couture » options.
The feathers dress won’t be produced except if made to order I suspect.
The rest of the shapes is classic Jacquemus.
