I am ALWAYS surprised to see the name McQueen pop up because I forget this brand exists. Same with Givenchy. Let's see what McGirr has in store.

 

[blackpink]

Will McQueen finally deliver something good?🤔

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

I liked a lot his last one and PDSFD gave me my first thumb down 😍🤣
Let's see.

Very in your face "The Wicker Man" inspiration. Hope it's more 1973 original than the Nicolas Cage remake.

 

[LadyJunon]

I'm enjoying this more than I should be.

I'm enjoying this more than I should be.

Right because why is McGirr giving me what I need ? This is actually pretty good.

As i said before he is slowly getting it. He has something going on, but other than the gimmicks, he should study the silhouettes, proportions and tailoring of Mcqueen. Once he nails that and mix it with his own aesthetic, Mcqueen could be in a good place again.

The black lace dress near the end was a showstopper.

 

[GivenchyAddict]

Oh he stepped up his game. I feel like a lot of designers felt pressure to do much better this season with all the new appointments.

Very Salem witch trials. PFW so far so good.

He is growing and the collections continue getting better and better… BUT! Those parachute dresses while lovely are too Lanvin Ss08!

 

[TianCouture]

It's a fabulous show. One of few appointments that I personally think is working quite well, and has been since his first outing.

Could have lived without the floral knitwear, and how they let the nip slip occur on the yellow parachute dress on it's first go around is beyond me, but it is a really nice blend of what can only be called marketable macabre. Also they smoke should have been going throughout the entire show! What a cool effect against the wicker.

Didn't know Ludovic was showing today.
It's probably his best collection, but it's still embarrassing considering what McQueen and Sarah did before him. Some nice things that no one will remember tomorrow. I liked the two dresses at the end.

 

[Balthier]

The floral knit pieces were a bit stuffy…
But the last part with the parachute dresses was great. And felt less heavy than what we saw at YSL earlier this week.

 

[blusheels]

I had zero expectations and yet this guy delivered a beautiful collection. Loved pretty much all of it except for the pants showing off the butt cracks

 

[PierreGotha]

The Music choice is off-putting. The references from Dante, Irere and Joan were clearly defined here, and the return of the bumsters as well. It seems that he is still figuring this out. Some of the styling and cut are good. However, others looked like something you'll see in Urban Outfitters.

 

[blackpink]

finally something good, much better than the other collection, still doesn't remind me of McQueen

 

[Lola701]

He is trying…
I liked the pieces, I know what he is trying to do but it’s lacking something everytime probably because nothing about this is natural for him.
He is trying his hardest to do the version of McQueen he loves or connect the most with.

He needed models with more personality. I think the boots didn’t always worked the way the sandals worked. Some looks were very Baby Phat by Kimora with those boots and the flat shoes killed the allure and the energy.

Nevertheless, probably his strongest collection and in a way, this is retail gold. A lot of separates that could look good on a 23 years old girl or a 50 something woman.

But he clearly lacks the sophistication and the vision to move this house forward. I hope he uses this tenure to save a lot of money, buy a house, network in the industry because this is the height of his career.

 

[perhydrol]

I'm not convinced McGirr understands the bumsters conceptually, but it's definitely his best collection yet, even if too literal with archival references. It also doesn't really have a strong conclusion imo, and with the given theme, it could have been much more interesting. Still, it's not a complete embarrassment, and maybe it will finally sell well.

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

If you remember his first collection, it is obvious that the growth is there.

Comparing this to the last Dilara Findikoglu, whereas hers might feel more McQueen you sense also she is ripping off.
Sean's on the other hand has several wtf moments like the multicolour flower pieces or the last three parachute gowns (fabric that Kering hadn't use for the fifteen gowns at Saint Laurent, maybe?), but his approach feels more creative.

The beginning of the show was.pretty good, then it got irregular, but even then there were a couple of stunning pieces.

The mood and music were fine, especially the light.
