Rabanne S/S 2025 Paris

[GoldenPetals]

Definitely not his best. Some good ideas and I love the pastels, but the silhouettes are very strange. The shapes look dowdy and blobby.

while not always flattering, i like the layering of textures he's been doing, it makes his futurism more warm. All the metalics and chainmails are beautiful, shame about them falling apart...the dress on julia nobis is very similar to a dress nicolas did for the louis vuitton resort show, and julia was wearing it there too. but I really like the tie detail around the hips.

my bad, it's the cruise show

Where Nicolas’s ideas are challenging our eyes, here, it does look like a diluted version of a strong idea.

Whatever charm, spark and individuality his Paco Rabanne once had, has quickly been absorbed as Ghesquire’s Vuitton diffusion line now in Rabanne. And MAS ruins everything now to boot. Her styling is so obnoxious.

(BTW, what is it with so many male designers these days looking like they have the proportions of a hobbit…???)

everything is there, great ideas and combinations but… be more authentic and drop MAS - she’s already terrible at LV.

Louis Vuitton by Nicholas Ghesquiere with chainmail embroideries and dresses...LOL
Hilarious they let Gigi open only because she's the face or their latest perfume, Julien must had been fuming while the CEO forced him to get her walking.
Love that the pieces were literally destroying and shuttering all over the runway as the models walked by.

All the while they are marketing that one of the bags is made of real gold and cost $250k.

Like be fore real.

I met quite a few of them in Paris in person, many of them are only 5'7 ish, and they go to the gym to bulk themselves up, so don't trust ig when you can only see their torso above lamo

I actually love MAS’s styling. I think when it comes to layering she is quite exceptional.

But then, sometimes, I’m annoyed by her styling because I know she can edit things to make a message clear.

I think she is fantastic with Nicolas but when you look at her best moments, it’s usually very simple.

A quality I love in her work is that she is pushing herself as much as she is pushing the designer. She doesn’t have « formulas » like Carine and can be totally detached from her personal style.

Plastic and metal on a rainy spring/summer sounds like a recipe for disaster (rust and mildew included).

PVC...sustainability my a.ss!

Can someone explain to MAS, it is not 2012 any longer. We all moved on, in 2013 already.
Lolzzz

i quite like the layering in the jacket looks, have more issues with how obvious the references are (margiela/yohji)

Maybe I’m just too hopelessly cynical, too beaten and too worn at this point by the egos and narcissism of the industry, but what you find as her challenging/pushing/inspiring the designer, I find so insufferably contrived in shoehorning her signature onto their designs.

LOL Many pocketsize men are plagued with the Napoleon complex… Their choice of clothing is the main offender when it comes to their proportions, not so much their little beefy bods. I get that it’s cool to dress down when you’re a lead of some glam brand and never have to venture beyond the fashion bubble— for these industry gays to cosplay a blue-collar worker, ever since Riccardo was photographed wearing a gas attendant’s shirt back in the Scott Schumann "street photography" days. But this insistence on poorly-fitted oversized granddad pants, worn with dad sneakers, just comes off as contrived, obnoxious and insufferable as MAS’s styling.
