Lacks JWA's joyful whimsy

How shameless is to do looks with “multiple” button down shirts as one?!? The fact that Demna left to Gucci doesnt mean we can’t buy this particular design from Demna’s Balenciaga.
Do these two clowns have ANY ideas of their own?!?!?

So bad I don't want to refill any of my Loewe soaps anymore lol, and this is coming from someone who thought their own line was efficiently fashionable department store clothes. Everything is so stiff, banal, and obvious.

Also the patronizing standing ovation is crazy to me. Why are you celebrating two guys selling out and abandoning their own brand that they had 22 years of runway shows to prove themselves with. That's more time than Margiela and Helmut Lang had with their labels.

Please don’t ever use Martin Margiela and Helmut Lang sacred names with the Proenza Losers clowns. Thank you 😉😘😘😘🤣

They lost me at that glass clutch… it’s neither whimsical nor fun. It’s just… dumb, like why?

I can't with the new half monogram

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

I invite you to picture this collection full in black, à la Japanese master, to see what kind of effort was put in the design of it.

Someone said "sexy Ronald McDonald" and I can't unsee it

I’m still so confused by this appointment. Gotta see how well they sell I guess, but I don’t see it happening with two designers who don’t have much to say. I feel like they should have waited for Daniel. He would of been a better fit for sure.. oh well

Omg didnt Matheu Blazy do something with blown glass at Bottega??
Proenza Loser guys are like Pinterest collectors!! Thats all they do, steal from others, and redo it as worse 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I feel like neoprene is very 2010, and I believe a few of the opening looks are made of it.
Not into that dated design decision; but it felt ocean inspired. I have not read up on the actual inspiration for the collection; and honestly almost forgot they were taking over this house. But, decent showing and a good start.

Half is nice. Half forgettable.
Brand isn’t completely destroyed yet, that’s already that - yes, my bar with them is that low.
I expect a large overlap with Rider’s Céline now.

I was thinking of Celine as well, and I can’t help but wonder why LVMH is allowing two of its most carefully and masterfully built brands of recent years to be steered by designers of, let’s say, rather unremarkable talent.

Is it only arrogance to think they can thrive on this image for years to come without the creativity that once built it, or is it more overconfidence — the belief that marketing and visuals alone can sustain what is now merely a diluted version of what once was?

They do deserve an award for referencing the most designers of the past two decades in a single collection, I suppose.

My sentiments exactly. Scuba Couture had its moment, It seems like an odd time to revive it. Are they so jaded that they seriously believe they have the capability and influence to jumpstart trends? I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt anyone will be copying this collection any time soon.

Precisely. There are revivals, and there are re-runs. Both of which do not hold the same appeal.

I mean, at least it's painted leather, so I'll give the credit where it's due. And it's not like they want to start this trend, either. Just have a look at Rabanne for instance. The surfing theme seems to be quite popular conceptually this season, even at Dries Van Noten (where it wasn't visually pleasing), and I guess Celine will also reference that tomorrow. If there's someone to blame for the revival of scuba couture, it's trend forecasters.
