Patou F/W 2026.27 Paris

Was buying this brand to get the rights to "Joy" really worth it?

I always thought this was an attempt from LVMH to re-enter the elevated contemporary market (and fill out a more accessible offer in their new department store) to compete with the likes of Jacquemus, but there's really been no evolution in the creative direction or product offer to make this brand stick out at all.

The right question should be: was opening a fashion house solely because of Sidney Toledano believing in Guillaume Henry and his dream to work for Patou on a contemporary fashion project really worth it?


I don’t think Guillaume Henry is gifted enough to have done it for him. I don’t think the project is solid. Patou is not needed and at the same time his voice as a designer either. So they have to make a drastic decision at this point.
 
Discontinuing the iconic fragrances was the dumbest business move, it was the foundation of the house and brand usp, this is nice but its nothing special either , you can get this at Sezane or Sandro lol
 
Close this brand.

Guillaume looks WAY too tired for this level of output.
 
hum, I don't understand the hate, it is what it is, contemporary garments, but it's not worse than 90% of NYFW.

Not this Paris elitism mentality. I mean really? Just because it was shown in Paris, does that mean we have to look for a different perspective to judge it? That’s double standard.

yes I think this is double standard; this collection is trashed in Paris while it would be OK in many other countries. I criticize that Paris elitism.
