^^^ I find his offerings harmless, reductive and still charming. it goes without saying that Julien’s Rabanne has unapologetically become nothing more than a fangirling, stalking, obsessing shadow of Nicolas’ Vuitton (…maybe even Nicolas as well…). It’s creepily charming in that Single White Female kind of way when viewed from a spectator’s POV. He could easily ghost-design Vuiton and no one would be the wiser (maybe even an improvement LOL). And for those that actually want to wear Rabanne, this is all available to purchase, so I’ll give him that. This label is to Louis Vuitton what Proenza Schouler is to Phoebe’s Celine— minus that duo’s artsy nonsense. The beaded fringed pieces are lovely. Separate the beaded fringed, crystal-embellished, paillette/chainmail dresses and plush coats and jackets from the gaudy presentations and desperate stylings, and they’re actually solid as a rock. He’s another one where seeing just the clothes on hangers would improve his desirability immensely. His ME customer will love all that glitter and shellack.
