Hopeless

 

[THD96]

And the award for a fashion show with the worst fabrics goes to...

This is literally a parade of bath sponges.
Sloppy execution, unflattering silhouettes, obnoxious colors, and out-of-touch with reality. It's really a buffet of bad taste.
The models look like they are drowning in those tulle monstrosities.

Someone please stop this madness.

 

[Koibito]

He proves that not all Japanese designers are good.

but he’s cute though.

 

[Salvatore]

They literally look like they are wearing loofahs and sponges.

This is a prime example of someone that has pigeon-holed themselves into a corner with a gimmick/« technique » that, in their mind, is their signature. They think that if they changed or moved on from their schtick, their brand would be unrecognizable. But that’s where a good designer comes in because they should be able to work that in so many ways that it is fresh. The problem is that his « thing » is neither all that particular nor masterfully used. Waste of fabrics.

 

[WAVES]

girl, what?

 

[brandon J pierre]

when no one of your team can say no!

 

[GivenchyAddict]

If I speak…

Oh someone is horny

 

[Bugsy]

They look like piñatas. Is this the piñata collection?

For God's sake, how long are they gonna keep trying to make this guy happen? I've never seen someone being pushed this hard with absolutely nothing to show for. There are a lot of actual deserving young designers out there that could use this kind of industry backing. Why him? How can anyone genuinely look at this and not laugh? It drives me insane!

 

[jeanclaude]

I wonder if models had candies inside...

 

[Lola701]

@jeanclaude and @Bugsy you are diabolical!

 

[Cocteau Stone]

Diabolically bad, entirely pointless. And the those satin pieces look like a mass of children's toothpaste squeezed and swirled into the bathroom sink.

I'd say burn it, but I don't condone the pollution brought by incinerating plastics.

I think this also hints at what he and his team were probably wearing while "designing" the collection, too.

 

[Machinegumm]

A bunch of toddlers hooked on gatorade designed this during a week-long arts and crafts rampage.

 

[RedSmokeRise]

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but Is he (our fashion equivalent) of an industry plant lol.

Thats what I was thinking lol

 

[Deleted member 1957]

Its almost like the other designers push him so hard so he makes them look good.

 

[Lola701]

What I don’t get about it is the purpose. What’s the point? It’s not thought provoking, it’s not pushing boundaries, it’s not wearable, it’s not worn on the Redcarpet…

Now he has moved from NYC to Milan with the facilities of established designers for absolutely nothing. I can’t wait for him to come to Paris and get a reality check…Since he is on tour.
