I buy her clothes so it’s quite difficult to me to look at this beyond the « what to buy ».
I think first of all that in terms of tailoring, she has now surpassed Stella.
She has found the right balance between oversize and structure.
I don’t know, I always have this kind of weird relationship with what she shows on the runway because for me, she should always aim for the most achieved version of what she does and in general, it’s the commercial version and never the runway elevated version.
And for a brand so reputed for the dresses, I think the ones showed here like those with asymmetrical décolleté or treated in a very stiff way, does not do justice to what they can do.
Nevertheless, the look on Jeanne Cadieu (particularly the fact that the bottom of the dress is very Helmut Lang), and all the denim are really great.
But with VB, the magic is always in stores.
I don’t understand why she’s getting criticized for being “experimental”. Like why should we prevent her from re-newing herself? This is a well edited collection, with bad taste of color and smh the tailoring pieces remind me of Dries. I don’t really care about her fashion but this is not a bad one.
Because it’s almost in total contrast to what we (the clientele) buy. Are the huge holes on the tank top dresses necessary? Even the flowy dresses with the vaginas in the beginning. Her experimentations are always wrong. And they are always in contrast to the good stuff and to their achieved version.
