I saw a documentary about Karl lagerfield and he said while showing a fall couture collection. That the spring ready to wear was already in production, that's two seasons down. These studio are massive lots of workers. But designing is the easy part the production is the hard part when designing jewelry and shoes you can do those on a conference call.
Can’t believe they let him do this… I think if anyone see this he’ll be working at a bakery for the rest of his life…
Can't believe it was authorized at all, and this person just made themself unemployable: nobody would accept or excuse that, or take this risk.
Oh no, it definitely wasn't authorized. Saint Laurent is a traditionalist fashion house that is very adamant of having the show as the "grand unveiling" for a collection. They definitely wouldn't approve of having their collection leaked on social media, especially on TikTok of all.
Is the post still there? Do you have a link?
Her ignorance is appalling.
emphasis on 'there was an assistant', like once upon a time. 😅😬
in a way working in a bakery might be a blessing vs the fashion industry
When I saw that I literally thought of this.View attachment 1309025
The irony of wanting to be demure as they leak 6 months' worth of a luxury brand's labour. She only got 4k views on the video, so it isn't the biggest deal, but it does set a precedent for this sort of behaviour.
Leak aside, I think that if the upcoming women's collection is taking after the latest men's collection, it will be tough sell with the oversized silhouettes. While I like the idea of a loungy masculine suit on a woman, I don't trust Vaccarello's technical eye to pull it at all.
Looking at these suits from the menswear collection below, the models (who around 6'1" to 6'3") are completely swallowed by what they're wearing. The vertiginous heels on the runway will help to add to the silhouette's vertical line, but imagine these proportions on an average woman (around 5'4") or even an average man (around 5'9").

Indeed, and the suits aren't selling, at all. Too much loose and thin fabric that does not hold the shape (they are mostly in silk crêpe or charmeuse), they feel like luxury pyjamas. It's an odd feeling. Customers try on them and silently put them on the rack.
I wouldn't say that the brand is lacking direction, I would just say that the current direction is very derivative of the brand's archives. It seems to be well-received though. As good as Hedi's direction was, it's betrayed by the fact that women are somewhat secondary in his twink-utopia.
