the second part of the gucci show

^^^And better than the first one, IMHO

I see a bit of Marc Jacobs in a perhaps less exaggerated version

I love that you can get Prada / Miu Miu from 1/3 of the original Price from Alessandro. Give him Miu Miu or dump Raf's as Miuccia's successor and get the more skilled designer.

His collections are never really perfect because they lacks editing! The real RTW is fabulous, the experimentations are wonky.

There might be more "design" in the yellow third-to-last satin dress here than in all the Gucci show we just saw... I still find the Gucci woman more appealing 🤭
All these pieces with gigantic bows and the supervoluminous pleating in the skirts are unforgivable.

Nº666...so unflattering volumes and proportions!

But he is doing better Prada than Raf.

But he is doing better Prada than Raf.

And his stuff feels very Italian too.
That’s what I think is missing at a lot of those brands.
I always feels like the budgets are tight when I look at his shows.

It’s insane that N21 cannot be bigger. The price point is fantastic, the clothes are honest and well made.
They needs a better PR maybe.

even when it's not firing on all cylinders, I always find something to like in his collections. plus it fits my wife well, and as mentioned the price points are not outsized for what you're getting.

I like his cool italian-ness in a sophisticated effortless way..But he is stuck in the 60's for some seasons now...next season he needs a refresh....

Shoes were nice but a lot of girls were having trouble walking on those specially on the slingbacks that some look a bigger size than the model's size.

I am not sure if he wants to go super big...i have sense that he is good in the way he is now and remain like that. He gets always good press of his shows and in editorials and he sells well in Asia...

Maybe he needs a better distribution...

 

[Not Plain Jane]

I like the play with bows, proportions and colouration. It's much more fun than some bland regurgitation of a brand's "trademarks" but "tweaked" to seem new. Or whatever.

The strict cut paired with soft. A pastel pink shift with a red purse. A fur with peacoat toggles. This an experiment in contrasts! IMO, many people would find something to wear here.

 

[YohjiAddict]

As usual a very strong showing. If Versace can be mid-90s forever (the tackiest part of that era) then No.21 can be early 60s for a few more seasons. And yes very in the style of the last Gucci show but you can tell these clothes were actually designed and would look interesting outside of the runway, take the Gucci show apart and you’d have the sales rack at Nordstrom.
