- FW 2002: it was such a great season.
Balenciaga by NG, Chanel, Fendi, Gucci, YSL, Lanvin, Rick Owens, Prada, Dior, Chloe, Alexander McQueen, Junya Watanabe, Margiela, Hermes, Yohji, CDG, Givenchy, Jean Colonna
- SS 2011: Tom Ford, Chanel (The feather dress), Fendi, Alaïa, Prada, MiuMiu, Versace, Balenciaga, Celine, Lanvin, Vionnet, Alexander McQueen, Margiela, Jil Sander, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs.
But tbh, I don’t know if there’s a season that is better than the other between 2001 to 2011. I think there was still a competitive nature to fashion and many events that shifted the POV of many designers.
My favorite Tom Ford collections were for SS & FW2001. My favorite Helmut Lang collection was for SS2001. Margiela and Prada are SS 2007. Riccardo FW2007…etc.
I think that the run from FW2007 to SS2009 offered a lot of iconic, game changing collections for a lot of brands…From CDG to Cavalli. But those weren’t my formative years in terms of fashion.
I will always cherish the early 00’s.
