Sharon Wauchob F/W 2025.26 London

Gorgeous as usual 🖤, materials, proportions, silhouettes, the asymmetrical cuts, the liquid-y knot in that black skirt.. the yummy sleeves in look 9.. all elements she shows every season but she somehow keeps them lovely and fresh. Love to see a designer working on a steady line and being able to revisit the stuff they and their customers love without having to first run it by 50 suits.
 
Looks like she’s venturing on to unexpected, unexplored wardrobe territories for he. Very reminiscent of Gigli’s Byzantine gentlewoman silhouettes with the wraps and cocoon knitwear: The Czer-esque empress cocoon shirt; the cocoon wrap knitwear; that asymmetric sculpted halter/off the shoulder top; and the shearling wraps; that Gigli-esque trench with the peplum looks interesting (but that damn cropping of the photo instead of just showing the entire coat really bugs). Not convinced of her other coats though. Everything would look so much richer with a Tom Ford men’s great coat, or a Hedi’s Dior Homme peacoat. And she likely knows that her customer already knows how to incorporate her separates into their wardrobe, making it all their own.

(Unfortunate that those boa feathers still linger…)
 
I dont mind if she goes to Carven after Louise

The suggestion of Sharon being installed at some other label always get brought up with every new collection LOL I understand people mean well when they feel so-and-so would be ideal for so-and-so label. But she seems to be securely and contently set in her exquisite reputation, confident offering and regal flow; plugging away at her own quiet pace and modest output, dedicated to her loyal customer— free of commitments to socials and celebs, that to be obligated to any other label just seems like unnecessary pressure, clutter and even likely damage her own creative flow by catering to what has become an increasingly dimwitted casual fashion customer, only interested in status symbols and whatever brands celeb-of-the-day is endorsing. And in this era, fashion shows and campaigns are more an exercise in tedious and bloated excess than they are of anything creatively inspiring. Her simple and sparse lookbook presentations on a cast of unknowns possesses more personality, individuality and speaks more inspirationally than the bloated flexing but ultimately hollowness exemplified by the likes of current-day Fendi/Vuitton/Prada. That current Burberry show is a perfect example of that expensive emptiness.
