McQueen F/W 2025.26 Paris

Okay, this was reassuring. I think the house in the right hands. You found the oddity of McQueen, but there was a down temperament in the clothes, which I enjoyed. We got those McQueen elements that we so loved and the collection was thoughtfully produced, so as to bring you deeper into the McQueen universe through subtlety to start, and drama to end.

I felt it was a beautiful tribute to all the house has done to introduce it to the next chapter.
Loved the soundtrack at close, with the last look before the final parade walk.
 
I struggle with McQueen since Lee’s death. Even Sarah’s tenure, which had some nice moments, didn’t really do it for me.

Though Lee produced great clothes, I never really think of his legacy and work being “just” about clothes if that makes sense. To me it was always more of a personal, artistic, space where he was able to work out ideas and feelings — the end product of that being the clothes, sets, and show. Without him, it’s hard to move things forward because the codes of his house (hate that phrasing) was so much greater than a tailored suit or period piece references. It’s more of a sensibility and a way of seeing the world…so it’s disappointing seeing the house devolve to a collection of products.

I get that in this current climate you can’t do spectacle. However, I wish there a bit of romance or some type of evocation here. McQueen, even under Sarah, became so hard and stiff with little very little levity or humor to offset it. I’m not sure that’s Sean’s wheelhouse but at the bare minimum I wish this felt like he was having fun?

Its like why do a playdoh version of McQueen this CD is young person, so why not study the construction of Lee work there is so much to use and bring back it's not just enough to do vibe.

It's a brand or house with technical abilities and needs a sharp and compelling point of view to give it the attention it deserves it can be totally relevant house it's has the elements to have a strong DNA to build a story around post Lee.

But this is not it its just below mediocre for Mc Queen and i am not a fan of Sarah´s either but at least she had sharper rigor and construction of Lee´s left in her collection even if she never really build a full brand out of Mc queen legacy.

At these prices i need it to blow me away and make me dream and lose all reason to pay thousand of dollar or euros or yen etc for something i don't need but just want .......nobody needs another weak *ss piece of clothing
