Love the pants, would wear them all the time in spring, summer, autumn.

 

[Avonlea]

I really like this. The first row is gorgeous. It's a good collection and proportions/volumes are done very well. Anderson should take a look.
I find it much better than her womenswear which tends to be heavy and overworked.

 

[mepps]

I've always loved this brand. Solid, but under the radar.
I love the pants here.

 

[Yasouss]

Such beautiful silhouettes and the material is always nice to the touch in person. Not overworked and overlayered like some of their earlier collections. Really sublime.

 

[Darko]

Actually I like so far my fave from this season
Those 70s stripes plus barrel pants
Everything looks so a bit retro but at the same time soooooo fresh
Big like 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻

 

[Lola701]

It’s so…Normal! Great, refreshing!

 

[britionkin]

It’s nice but am I the only person who’s tired of barrel jeans?

 

[PierreGotha]

Sacai is such an expert in shapes and proportions. This collection is remarkably solid and controlled, making it one of the strongest out there. The Shorts and Barrel trousers were the highlights.

When pants look like you are living inside them, instead of just wearing them, there is a problem for me...

This is interesting without any vulgar or diabolical element
It's fun simply fun to watch and wear
That's the point of fashion
Wich is really refreshing in today's world of fashion

 

[Monsieur Cristobal]

The strong silhouettes make this more interesting than several luxury houses.
You don't need millions to make fashion, just to think a little bit.
Good.

^^^ To me, it's the pretentiousness and hypocrisies of fashion industry. If any big fashion houses offered the clothes like these, the presses would definitely eat them up. The buzz is low because this label is simply not "important" enough. The discrimination is just too loud lol.

Even bland labels like Ami got more attentions, it's insane if we think about it. If you are not France/Italy/UK labels, then good luck!

Isn't Sacai a huge name in the streetwear/hypebeast scene though? Abe has done a ton of collabs (APC, Nike, Levi's, Carhartt, Moncler, Dior, a f*cking HC collection for Gaultier) and has several accolades under her name. Ami only really has its commercial success to justify its existence.

Sacai is a huge brand.
The reality is that you won’t have the press « eat this up » simply because they held a presentation this season.
It’s not like Sacai doesn’t have celebrities and all the establishment at their shows. It’s one of the most important brand in Paris and Chitose is very respected.

Your comment is a bit unfair.

And AMI again is very different. AMI is clothes that people wears in France, so there’s a more day to day connection from the French fashion community. Sacai is still more HF.

She is a respected designer fs and her label is also fairly favoured by the hypebeasts. And I’m quite certain that her brand has been far more commercially successful than many designers who get far more critical attention — like Haider Ackermann or Olivier Theyskens (I admire both, and I fully agree they possess a deeper aesthetic sensibility).

What I’m trying to say is: certain brands from Japan, the U.S or the Middle East seem more focused on serving their actual clientele, rather than chasing recognition as forward-thinking auteurs. But then, why do we still insist on dividing the industry into two camps — the “client-focused” versus the “pushing-fashion-forward labels” — as if a commercially grounded brand can’t offer thoughtful, relevant propositions? In many cases, their output feels far more meaningful than the empty theatrics coming from people like Pieter Mulier, Willy Chavarria, or Dilara.

I think PR plays a massive role in shaping the narrative, and that’s precisely why fashion has never been a balanced playing field. Talent alone means very little when you don’t belong to the right social ecosystem. Vauthier is a prominent example.

Even if I don’t agree, I think your are making very interesting points.
I agree with you that PR is playing a major role in shopping a narrative but essentially, all the designers are « client focused » and for me, it’s just a matter of sensibility coming from the designer.
Elie Saab and Dilara are doing the same thing. They just speaks to a different crowd. And then the size of the businesses create another narrative.


But I think the example of Vauthier is not a question of right social ecosystem. It’s a matter of bad business decisions.
Alexandre Vauthier had everything in terms of social ecosystem to work. Bruno Pavlovsky wife was one his earlier business partner. That allowed him to have access to all the Metiers d’Arts. He had the support of the French press. But the brand never really expended unfortunately.

I suspect he was doing everything on his own. And there’s also that pride of being independent that comes with a cost when you don’t have the right structure to push the business.

Alexandre Vauthier is exactly on the same schema as Schiaparelli. The only difference is that, Tod’s money is allowing Della Valle to have a long term vision with Schiaparelli. Therefore, supporting such a costly activity as Couture is worth it.

The most conceptual Bershka i've ever seen

I can´t see myself wearing huge pants like these ones...some of the jackets yes; but the pants no way! I´d feel like a little child wearing my father pants!!

 

[Simera]

I wish this was shown in a runway fashion, I always love a Sacai show and it would be fun to see such a good collection in motion.
