It’s evident crinoline would be easily removed and would significantly alter the shape. This hardly constitutes a critique. It is the bows distracting due to cluttered excess, detracting from the collection's more refined elements. My biggest issue is with his silken Renaissance serfwear.
Alessandro saying he makes costumes just means he lives in reality. Tom Ford called himself a stylist during his GG/YSL tenure.
Alessandro is incredibly self-aware, the comments about theatricality and crinoline. He’s aware of how people view him and he’s using that awareness to craft a collection. He probably is amused that so many people are mad about Vintage Valentino with optional crinoline... I think he's doing this to shape Valentino's image and remind us Valentino has always been in AM DNA... And then there’s the layer of accessibility. AM knows HC shoppers will have the chance to see the pieces without the crinoline and pulled apart into coherent looks.
