McQueen F/W 2025.26 Paris

[jeremydante]

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.

Well actually Maria Grazia would do a better job. Those muslin dresses belong to Giambattista ca 2016.

See Valentino Couture Fall 2016!!!

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

^^^ Playdoh. LIttte People. Muppet Babies. Never thought the day would come when that's what the brand Alexander McQueen immediately conjures.

Setting my own extreme biases aside for his extremely pedestrian capabilities, quite a few of the women's showpieces are solid. It’s still all very a slightly elevated NYFW sensibility, but it’s all definitely more professionally produced and refined than the sort of juvenile Pinterst/Hot Topic tropes that came before it. The overall residue of children cosplaying in gothy costumes is still prevalent, and the menswear is still unremarkably pubescent gay tagging alongside his older gothy sister and her friends— as is the trend these days when ever it comes to showing males alongside females. But as long as Kering will be reliably paying magazines to push these rags onto their covers, it won’t be as much of an eyesore as previous collections from him. BTW, at teh height of its the magnificence, the McQueen men were once such a memorable, throbbing, red-blooded species:

This is an improvement, but his taste level is juvenile.

Sean has the sensibility teenage girl who wears Jeffrey Campbell Lolita boots designing for a Bratz or Monster High Doll and what she thinks McQueen is. They need to regroup and figure out a strategy forward and it needs to be clear to the consumer.

this at best should be at a contemporary price point.

Bang up job designing for the House of Galliano, Seannie! Just one issue, there...

 

[FelipeV]

This is giving me Galliano by Bill Gaytten, there's designers that can't be topped. This brand will be relegate to the rags, what a waste.

I like it! There are some quite marvelous pieces and I have my eye on Angelina's leather jacket.
The menswear is garbage though
