[ah ah]

Never really understood all this buzz and the support of the industry (always shocked how he could afford such a strong cast and support of the industry's creatives working on his show) for this brand.

Ayesha Erotica’s cover was playing in the background of the finale

Simple. His brand is visually "progressive" in a way that doesn't require and intelligence or nuance to understand.

His lace up briefs have spread around the queer menswear community like wild fire. Chances are, since he blew up in the space of three seasons, he'll probably have a short moment of popularity, before fading away. I give it 2-3 years tops.

The only designers in this generation that I truly see having stable long term success are Glenn Martens, the Ottolinger duo, Peter Do, Arturo Obegero and maybe Charlotte Knowles and Nicola Brognano (if they figure out how to shift before the Zeitgeist does).

The real question here is how did he get the artistic director job at Ann Demeulemeester. It makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Why are the first 3 looks just PF Changs waiters

I actually believe Glenn Martens is the only one among the ones listed that I am sure is deserving and having a longer career in fashion. He is one of a very few progressive designer among the younger generation that is too often based on popularity; DJ's turned designers and IG Socialites.

Look 2 is kinda fabulous for him.
I just can’t with that photo of him. He is obviously feeling himself…

 

[Machinegumm]

I like the second look a lot, the rest is meh. Still have no hopes for his Ann D gig.

 

[IloveDiorHomme]

That « 2nd » look please, it’s just a copy of 90s Prada/Jil Sander. We’ve seen it before.

Some of you like it because it’s the only look that doesn’t look trashy and Kardashian oriented. As usual the construction is terrible, poor choice of fabrics.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

The logo on shirts and jersey with that square around them makes me think of annoying car salespeople or gym reps.

Look 2 is the only decent look, but it's barely even the bare minimum and also at odds with the rest of the collection. Sooner or later he's going to realise he designed himself into a corner that he can't move on from because his clientele/clout is so particular.

His rhinestoning also looks cheap as hell.

 

[THD96]

Oh, he finally designed something people can wear outside the pool. Baby steps, I guessed.

The proction value of the photography is very misleading.

In person the clothes are SHOCKINGLY cheap.

Also he is a « good » casting with top-notch models. Put anything on Irina and it looks good.

His clothes on regular people look ridiculous.

 

[Yasouss]

It's missing the sex appeal his first few shows had. Just because you put models in briefs or sheer doesn't make it sexy, it's an attitude and it's lacking here. I think the brand would benefit from limited releases and lookbooks, there is no need for a show because its above what they offer.

 

[Phuel]

The production value of the photography is very misleading.

Nah-- it’s always looked cheap LOL His only saving grace was the casting.

That cheap AF rhinestone logo is the definition of “graphic design is my passion” trolling. The fashion is on the level of an Eastern European fashion student selling on etsy to pay for her tuition, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but now that he’s going to inflict this plague of reductiveness onto Ann Demeulemeester, it’s a tad offensive …LOL...:weeps:….

Honestly, their first two shows before the pandemic were okay. They were a bit more simple too.
