I don't mind referencing.
Anyway the 3 suits (jackets and trousers), in grey croc, black silk and then white lace are all brilliant chef's kisses.

Me neither, but do you feel this adds anything "new" to the references? I'm pretty biased on his work since I find it so extremely uneventful and boring, whichi is why I might "overlook" the stuff that is actually interesting.

I dont hate it. I can see he still tried to inject himself in all the mcqueen looks. Very raw, and a more sexual mcqueen instead of a tortured one. I like that nothing looks forced, by now ive come to term what he is all about. Definitely wont mind seeing more of it in his own brand.

And the finale, mother is mothering. Period

The scream at the beginning set the tone.

I hate this type of cry for attention in fashion. The pseudo-disruption-in-design approach; to just tear it all down and thinking it's so new and innovative. With the exception of couture technique, the collection was the sexual force feed that we always see from Ludovic. Kind of like, the person who keeps talking about sex because they aren't having any.

It was more commercial than couture for me. Very glad these lil moment are a one-time thing.
Amelia Gray? Not chic at all. The walk was exaggerated and drew an eyeroll from me.

S/O to the atelier, they work sp hard on these collections. The concepts didn't hit for me.
Ludovic, Alessandro, Demna- all can go. Ruin things under your own names, stay away from any and all couture houses.

Spoiler: YES, She is..

It feels more referential to McQueen than JGP. But I kinda like it? It’s definitely the best collection he ever produced.

Anything "new" in today's show ? No, I definitely don't feel it, but I do appreciate when designers know the "good" references and try. LdSS is not a couturier, he does not have the skills, but somehow here he has the spirit and a few lucky accidents.
It's a naufrage you can't stop staring.

I liked it. It's noting spectacular but what I admire is that he doesn't pretend to be someone he isn't. Ludovic is tacky, vulgar and has a instagram hoe sensibility but he owns it and just has fun.

I would expect a promiscuity orgy fest no less... go big or go home.

I missread "go bi or go home" 🤣😅

which I found very cool, I have to admit.

I'm not saying anything about this, but McQueen did take from Gaultier, as he did with many other designers. I'm too soft brained to remember specific examples right but just go look through old collections and you'll find a bunch of things McQueen pulled. Same for Mugler. I remember one time thinking "wow... he really just keeps ripping this off lol". At least with McQueen he had the talent to re-contextualize rip-offs to the point that they were kinda new and fresh and maybe "respectful"

 

[Cocteau Stone]

^ McQueen was pretty open about it too. But I think that came from his attitude that was very “anything you can do, I can do better”. You see a lot of Yamamoto and Kawakubo in his work too, alongside Alaia, Ozbek and Gigli. But he knew how to harness it.

I just don’t care about this. It’s okay, better than other couture shows this season but it’s still all so ho(e) hum. Interesting to see how he used an atelier to his “advantage”, but it’s kind of a non-event. It’s all there for the sake of it. Nothing less and nothing more. Better than Dior and Chanel though.

 

[susseinmcswanny]

Oooo I just realized, I wonder wat Ms. Sutton Stracke is gonna get from this. Sometimes she picks the worst stuff lol which is annoying as sh*t but endearing I guess. I just want to talk to her before she makes any decisions.

McQueen was on the hair styling mood board as well.

Yas queen, yas queen.

It's a good collection, even great compared to the rest of the week.
Ludovic got the chance to access to a real couture atelier and he did not waste it.
He got the spirit of Gaultier right, even though it was kinda only on the surface level. It reminds me of when Gaultier used his couture to challenge the traditional rules of couture. And while Gaultier, was challenging the perception of what is meant to be couture, and with Ludovic it is more for the IG generation.
The final look and the blue dress on Lulu were stunning. I wish he would added a few daywear/tailoring to balance out the “fierce” looks.

And with the McQueen references, I think it's time people put some respect to the name Gaultier. Yes he was in pop culture but he is still a skilled grand couturier, and with a creativity mind like him of course he inspired the generation after him.

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

I liked a lot the show, the music, the energy.
I am ready to pretend I didn't notice more than one crafty look because, as a whole, I enjoyed it.

She gave Gisele on a very tight budget.

 

[MyNameIs]

I don't mind this at all. That white gown wrapped in black rope is so cool.

 

[jeremydante]

She gave Gisele on a very tight budget.

She could never give Gisele, regardless of the budget! 🤭
