Michael Rider - Designer, Creative Director of Celine

[justpassingthrough]

the invite is the teaser wedding invite picture

This gave me anxiety. Why wasn’t he using both hands the entire time?

Tbh, it's interesting to see an American designer showing up at one of the big houses again — there aren’t that many of them in Paris, right? Rick, the Olsens, Daniel Roseberry and Pharrell (don't judge me for calling him designer)

Hedi left and Anna Wintour showed up lmao

I see an amalgamation of Ralph Lauren and Hedi Slimane, with the silhouettes of Phoebe. It´s very literal (and very boring).

lol why the furoshiki technique for wrapping? The collection is not Japanese inspired even. Not that they can’t use it but kinda random

yes because its all empty!!!!! it only has to give the 2 seconds idea that it's visually of some sort of high curation or intellect just like many of these modern designers stuck in this Phoebe cult without a soul or and manifesto.

left without real explanation or authentic inted other than to look the part, all of them form PROENZA boys, BLAZY, JWA (at least at dior now it seems he is coming down to earth to offer some reality to his empty loftiness disguise under the obsession for craft) Pieter at ALAIA , the guy at TODS .......and the list really goes on and on. even RAF intelectual flateing design outcomes influence in
Prada

EMPTY directionless Modern design

if I am really brutally honest even Phoebe own brand seems lost and directionless rehash of her old work, even if she claims to just want to make clothes i am sorry but you can feel with each drop its going no where the life of this woman within her brand because there is not really a story to tell just looks.

its all way too calculated and thats death to creative progress, just like feeding AI machine and let it give your 20 variations on all it learned.

progress comes only when you take real risk based on intuition of there must be an different answer/way to what is already known in order to arrive to an new place or outcome.

i don't know how to express it but this what was presented today is not it either.

I agree the Ralph Lauren the paris version will be there but you saw already in menswear of the teams collection there is an oversized draped phoebe style coat already lol
a grey fluffy one could be phoebe on diet cola ...the scarf with beads is something phoebe could do mixcraft with minimal ......

at RL rider did droopy slouchy versions or RL it's also his personal style and he won't suppress it .....

i am sure some here in the thread remember the discussion on how he dress will be an indication of what to expect ....and here we are mothes later :-)
as i said before with some designers you can see what their taste is via what they wear them selfs.

i am sure some here in the thread remember the discussion on how he dress will be an indication of what to expect

how could we forget... the meltdown was so severe it prompted a longtime member to delete his account because 'Michael is a really nice guy with no social media who has made a concerted effort to stay out of the limelight' so how dare someone inept at dressing the one body he owns is questioned for his ability at telling others how to dress. 🤷‍♀️

A year later: Jean Nostradamus Claude 1 - 0 Mutterlein

predicting a designer's creative aptitude based on their personal style is highly erroneous.

I wish I could see the next lottery numbers...😭 But luck is not as predictable as fashion industry these days.
