So they've resurrected this poor brand only to push more Victoria Beckham type mediocrity onto fashion? Why???

 

[perhydrol]

It's pretty obvious they wanted to snatch some clients from Jacquemus and Courreges with this collection, but it's so... frumpy, lifeless and obvious in a way. I still don't know why LVMH want to keep the fashion division of Patou alive as it doesn't really work and their marketing (or rather sending pieces to influencers) is getting more and more annoying with time.

 

[gallianostan]

in what f*cking universe does this have anything to do with jean patou? your guess is as good as mine.

 

[Bernie Flood]

So who’s the current owner of Jean Patou?!

So who’s the current owner of Jean Patou?!

LVMH.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

It looks like it was co-designed with Laquan Smith and/or Christian Cowan, which makes no sense for Patou. Very New York fashion week.

Guillaume isn’t a very sensual designer, making the most simplest of looks appear so complicated and twee.

Those luggage pieces bring this to a laughable low. I cackled.

This is very we pulled pieces from the department store and had a fashion show.

To think… we only have this so LVMH could get the rights to Joy for that Dior perfume, or whatever.

drag queens actually walking the runway. jean patou is rolling in his f*cking grave.

 

[jeanclaude]

Merchandising disguised as fashion.

 

[Bernie Flood]

I think they should just turn the fashion houses of Patou, Grés, Jean Deses etc. into couture design house and not RTW. Its LVMH, they can afford it

 

[kasper!]

After Carven he has sunken into mediocrity.

 

[penny609]

Not to sound too harsh, I'll simply say I'm not liking at all what I see here.

And it's totally pointless to bring Patou back to life with a collection like that... It's pure marketing (relying on an old name rather than daring to push some young talented creatives) which is not needed today. But well...

I like it for what it is…
I really love the boots and the looks that has that kind of 50´s/60’s vibe and I think this is the direction Henry should explore instead of the « IG girls » looks like the look with the black glossy down jacket.

The danger with a contemporary brand is to just release merchandise and not treat it like a luxury brand.

Some of it makes me think of Peter Copping’s Nina Ricci.

I must admit I prefer Henry’s work for Patou to whatever he did at Ricci…

To think… we only have this so LVMH could get the rights to Joy for that Dior perfume, or whatever.

We have this because Henry wanted the Patou job…
Sidney declared that they only bought for the JOY but they had no plans for it. He approached Henry to do Pucci but Henry was talking about Patou. So eventually, pressure is on for him to make it work now that he wanted it so much…

this patou is a pity
