I think this comment section is the perfect case study of why this forum is dead in a lot of respects...the way you guys critic/slander literally every other collection bar a few favs ...but find this amazing is pretty hilarious to ME...rose tinted glasses & Nostalgia i suspect...i don't get it...maybe i'm too young...i mean my first fashion show i went to was Balmain ss 2008 so there's that..but i digress...meh ..

As an equity analyst who covers some of these companies my opinion is post-GFC there is a ton more pressure in each quarterly update and call for companies to be delivering quality, low-risk results with little tolerance for anything else. As a result of the added pressure creativity has died.I was writing a whole thing about how I disagreed with you and how it wasn't as simple as that, but I ended up reaching the exact same conclusion as you did. I'm really interested to hear why you think fashion is dead, though, because I think that's where our opinions differ.
I was also wondering about Christophe Decarnin i know a few people that have worked at Balmain since the early 2000s they told me various things about what happened to him...I always have a soft spot for him because when i was new to the fashion game he always treated me & our models so well ...I think people (me included) have a soft spot for designers doing their own thing and with it being instantly recognizable. There’s a sense of consistency in the references, in the allure and in the styling. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s comforting I guess...
And tbh, we have less and less designers like that. Marc has always been nostalgic...He referenced the 90’s back in the 00´s.
But I think that irrational part of fashion is what makes it exciting!
Ps: That Balmain show was perfect. It’s a pity Decarnin is nowhere to be found today...
Unfortunately, the article needs an update as he left Faith Connexion, from what I’ve been told.I was also wondering about Christophe Decarnin i know a few people that have worked at Balmain since the early 2000s they told me various things about what happened to him...I always have a soft spot for him because when i was new to the fashion game he always treated me & our models so well ...
i found this article if it is of any interest to you guys ...
The Rise, Fall and Return of Christophe Decarnin
According to an interview with Marc Jacobs, this collection didn't go into production. What's more, he's not going to design the spring/summer 2021 collection, but that might change with time.
three years after and I haven't seen anything from any big brand or designer that might top this show. well, to be fair, the Olivier Theyskens collections from the last seasons were absolutely beyond but that's the only strong fashion memory I got from these past years. But I'm talking about the show as an experience: I wait every single season to have something that makes me feel obsessed and inspired like Marc did with this one... but it never happens.
