But you're right about his excessive use of that gold work. It's cool once or twice but as a persona? I think it has more to do with the fact that he has no idea what he's doing. He relies on decoration. Strip away all the bells and whistles and he has zero understanding or interest in pattern making. It always just looks like he is deriving off of some basic vogue patterns, adding a few trinkets, and then on occasion some silk taffeta explodes all over the atelier. Idk I am not understanding what the reasoning is behind this push for him at all
