You’re being way too kind. Hedi’s is too high concept for Anthony, frankly. He blatantly ripped off our beloved Sabato’s recent Gucci cruise looks— whose look at least could be reasoned that it was paying tribute to Tom’s Gucci look of a mink-lined parka worn over a chiffon gown.

Yes i remember the fur lined belstaff style jackets over the chiffon dresses but those dresses are not bell shaped like Hedi had in celine.

Ancora boy is a vacarelo 3.0. i know people at both companies ...Hedi & old Tom Gucci & Yves himself and old Versace, Helmut Newton is AV benchmark not Ancora boy.

he even poses like hedi with hands in jeans and his husband included

^^^ He doesn’t seem to hide how much he admires Hedi— at least his Dior Homme; there’s an interview where he talks about saving up to buy Hedi’s Dior Homme when he was in school. Who knows, we may even have all used the same sites back in the late-2000s, buying and trading Dior Homme. But he doesn’t give off an obnoxious air — like Jacquemus. I can see the Hedi-poseur vibe you’re getting, and that doesn’t bother me since it’s more of an indie-rocker trope more than anything that Hedi copped from all the indie kids he followed around. Kering is pushing all these SL advertorials in all the mainstream rags with him include in them. And as much as he’s not at all photogenic, he doesn’t bother me. I find him basic but harmless, just as his SL is. Everything he’s showing, we’ve seen it all done much better before.

(Very curious as to when was that point that Kering was convinced to seriously invest in his SL. Because he desperately floundered from picking up the scraps of Hedi’s SL when he first was installed there. There was even that horrendous collection that was teetering on pubescent-looking girls cosplaying Chanel. He was so directionless and and seemed to be plummeting the brand into Versace-level of irrelevance. But then suddenly the renewed confidence of a severely stripped back classic YSL with all the minimalist tropes of 80s black-and-gold dressing; the expensive, sprawling presentation with its cast of top models and top celebs; and the ultimate lethal weapon that is arguably his greatest success: Bringing back the iconic YSL logo. Since then, it’s been the same formula but lazier and lazier in his product offering. People always seem enthralled by the castings, the settings, the soundtracks, the celebs in the campaigns. But rarely-- if ever, does anyone gush over the product. ...Except for all the haulers that show off the merch with the logo that they snatched up at the local SL outlet)

There’s something narcotic about 80s fashion at large. It reads as if it isn’t happy with itself and laced with some kind of oppressive self loathing.

Love the imagery of that time, and how the fashions interacted with it. But on their own, they just don’t hold up as anything contemporary.

I find it's a weird period to look back on, I see what you mean... maybe it's those qualities that I get a whiff of when I look at 1980s fashion. I think the 1980s were also a much more difficult time socially, economically, and politically than pop culture lets us think it was, it was much darker. It was an era where everything from the 1950s to 1970s came spiraling down. There's a sense of lingering decay and rot under all that taffeta and hairspray. I don't care for the 1950s in fashion either, its focus on perfectionism bores the hell out of me. There's something about fashion from the mid-1960s to late-1970s that I find truly enjoyable to look at, even vintage items from forgotten designers. It was a time when people were loosening up, fashion was loosening up (oh no the dEmoCrAtiZatIoN of fashion—which I don't think is a bad thing at all, compared to lots of comments I've read on tFS). But I find even looks from the 1960s or 1970s can look more contemporary and fit in with current styles than the bloated confections of the 80s... ok what am I talking about... anyway, the 90s were obviously a breath of fresh air. We're probably in the new 80s, but worse... I can't imagine people looking back on the last decade of fashion fondly.

Can anyone tell me why the Saint Laurent runways are always wet? I really don't understand, does it only rain in their locations?

The floors are actually dry. It's a faux-effect done as a reference to a filmmaking technique when filming street scenes at night. They wet the floors to create visual interest with reflections, while hiding any undesirable shadows.
