Any major highs and lows this season? For me, the standout was Giorgio Armani in Milan. A flawless collection from start to finish. You can add Emporio Armani to that list too.
 
The Prada collection and presentation was my favorite. The simplicity and modernity of the clothes, gorgeous and exciting color-blocking, and straw flowerpot hats won my heart.

Emporio Armani and Sacai were my favorite. I would put Prada as the worst for its laziness.
I second your entire message, word for word. I preferred Emporio Armani to main line Giorgio Armani by far, even if it was nice.

Let me add in that I surprisingly enjoyed Louis Vuitton a bit more this time than I have in the past. I saw some pieces I quite liked. Dior was fine, but I feel neutral about it.
 
I like Emporio Armani - Dries Van Noten - white mountaineering ( my personal taste lol ), I mean the bar is low af and this season is probably the worst in years. If we count Pitti Uomo, then Homme Pliss Issey Miyake.
 
Paris is in trouble. Is it okay to say that I liked Amiri a lot? Great cuts and a clear theme. Junya and LV (!!) were passable. The rest of the big names failed to clear the already very low bar. Undercover had an awful collab with dickies. Milan is doing better with Emporio and D&G. Prada’s done pure sh*t for so long, it’s beginning to decompose.
 
Feeling just fine about my personal favorite, go-to brands, so I have nothing to add here.

But when I saw the IG feed of what was going on at Rick before the show, I immediately thought “Oh, eff no. I want nothing to do with this brand or this crowd.” I couldn’t bring myself to look at the actual clothes once the images were released. The whole spectacle around his shows these days totally turn me off. It’s so, so obnoxious IMO.
 
My personal fav would be Dries van Noten and Craig Green.
Forever love: Brioni, Armani and Lemaire.
Good: Vuitton, Dior, Sacai, Jacquemus
Bad: Rick Owens, all of the new designers (Egonlab, Wales Bonner etc.)
Absolute f*cking horror: Prada (get your shot together Miuccia, ain’t funny no more) and Willy Chavarria
 
Best: Junya Watanabe

Good: Dries van Noten, Emporio Armani, Sacai

O.k: Dior Homme, Louis Vuitton

Worst: Prada, Saint Laurent
