Valentino S/S 2025 Paris

I love how he reworked old Valentino pieces, but this is not Valentino. It doesn't have the same spirit or allure.

Those nostril gauges are not going to do well on the resale market.

even if its valentino by guci by alessandro michele... i like that the prints this time gave us some time to breathe. You can take pieces with pretty low-key prints that will last you forever. Tailoring and making timeless clothes is really micheles strength. My problem with his gucci was always the loud prints that wouldnt last 1 season.

Some of the denim + suit looks are giving celine a run for its money. That red 4th to the last look's beautiful, minus the grandma socks.

Sure, some pieces do match the archives. But it's more than that. I feel like when you're presenting the collection it's about capturing the whole thing. A lot of these designers are having styling issues. e.g. Chemena.

He is a slave of his own aesthetic which make him think through his ego ...and frankly he doesn't have someone on his team to question things...

Styling and editing are his worst enemy...
