There are some good wardrobe pieces here, yes, but there is no vision, no story besides "New York cool" –where even in that construct, they fail to provide a unique perspective of what New York cool even is.
The best piece is the shearling moto, which is almost a 1:1 dupe of Balenciaga Fall 2004. It's deeply ironic that Ghesquiere's NYC collections actually did provide a unique, and perhaps definitive, template of NYC cool from a Frenchman.
The part that absolutely takes me out is that the downtown duo are now just stealing set designs from Phoebe Philo. Their runway design with the models lined up in shadows behind a scrim directly pillages the Céline's Fall 2017 runway.
