Khaite F/W 2025.26 New York

I am quite surprised at how lovely it all is! It also feels all cohesive and doesn't fall into the modern trap of a collection looking like a disjointed story, there's repetition of silhouettes and fabrics and the fabrics are all so sumptuous and delicious looking đź©·

My only gripe is that it's another collection of neutrals with a pop of red and blue. If I see one more collection with this color palette I'll lose my mind lol
 
I'm not convinced. Some of the leather is quite good, as are the leopard pieces, but the knits and woven pieces are wretched & look like failed approximations of Blazy's Bottega.
 
I agree with most and think it is a great collection and an even better show. The greats - dress on Mona, the leathers, styling, all the leopard, fabulous accessories - were all amazing. There were some lows - Lulu should take it personally - but not enough to drag the collection down. It may not be original but it’s VERY well done! Can tell you now, it will be the best of NY.
 
Fair enough. But no one is expecting her to be the next Miuccia LOL She’s of that classic American tradition of designers whom are clearly influenced by greater talents and interprets these inspirations in their very NYC clean, slick and nonfussy essence. Her separates are very solid, very mix-and-match, very versatile— and not an obnoxious logo/monogram/signature print in sight.

Visually, I can understand the Anthony comparison. But in terms of style proposal and breakdown of separates post-preseantaion, Anthony is nowhere close to her capabilities. Her wears can walk straight to the sales floor without a stitch of alteration. Anthony’s costumes need to be altered for the real world. But then again, he just relies on all the basics and logo’d/monogrammed/signatured merch to do the heavylifitng for the brand. And he’s got Kering money to snatch all the stars for the campaigns to convince the casual fashion fans he's "luxury".

(Just not seeing that current McQueen person's grubby little hands here. I see Alessandro Dell'Acqua in the knitwear and transparent polos.)
no i am not saying to be miuccia lol ...... i only said it lacks a point of view and distinct creative effort for a fashion show even with in its aim of what the brand want to project sex modern lux cool woman whatever etc.
the point of a show is to give these at minimum: a coshive or by chapter a message in distinct (new) style or a commentary etc or just fierceness or experimentation.
if not do a presentation in show room and we can talk of the merchandising qualities of the collection build up and separates. because that's just what it is a filler brand when you don't want to spend 15 k on the coat i take the khaite on for way less ......and keep it moving

actually her biggest crime is it looks old fashioned idea of 90 , 00 of all the inspo

for Mc Queen its the mix of tunnel neck XXXL knits and his leopard chivenchy with the high heels stripper boots from same show with long pencil skirts ...
Anthony i don't have energy to unpack i don't care for his one note carbon copy talents but at least he knew how to drive home the one idea trick he found at YSL.

6 different collections all rolled into one to court different clientele. I’m confused by all of this and there’s no convincing through line. The leopard print is nicely done, but where does the argyle fit in all of this? And then all the odd fringey frayed with the leather and the draped column things. I’m lost.

McQueen person's grubby little hands...:-/ i hope it's meant like a funny thing.... as he did far more sophisticated things as well and his creativity and legacy is not even to be mentioned in same breath of legitimacy as this influencer brand :-)
