raf fw13
like what the fuck was he thinking, shit is atrocious, probably his lowest point for me

>>11115559
Why do people hate this collection so much? Because it's different? It's like the only good collection the brand has had since she left imo. Everything else is just rehashing Ann's ideas shamelessly with nothing new brought to the table. As someone who loves the brand I want it to stay alive and evolving rather than stuck in the past.

>>11115568
That is just truly objectively awful. It looks like a first year fashion student's idea of "menswear".

>>11115583
desu i blame his work at dior for kinda shitting up his mainline, his work at dior was quite good however, i just feel he focused all of his creativity on that

>>11115559
>SLP SS16

shit was weak, not technically advanced nor aesthetically pleasing in relation to the general aesthetic of the brand, just a lump in the series

gonna keep this thread going
JW Anderson FW16
was really appalled with how cheap, tacky, unwearable and inconsistent this collection was
especially considering his SS16 collection which was for me one of the best collections in recent times and also his work at loewe
that collection was everything jw anderson should be, futuristic, fun, quirky, yet still androgynous
i know he likes to never keep the same theme season to season, but this was just an example of that gone wrong

anything by SLP. what a fucking disgrace to the legacy of yves. hope you burn in hell hedi along with your shitty music

also galliano's recent work

>>11115568
What aggravates you so much about this collection? I think it's extremely mediocre but it doesn't strike me as being much worse than a typical London collection. The bowie era influences are interesting and there are a lot of classic Raf staples thrown in, the collection is charming at the very least.

>>11115578
There is a lot to be said about a collection that pushes what a brand's image can be, however in order for that collection to be a success it still needs to have great clothes that respect the ethos of what the brand is about. This collection is... horrendously tacky. Just straight up, it's kind of disgusting to look at. It's like a twisted mash up of SLP Haider Ackerman and scooby doo.

There's none of that classic Ann poetry to be seen and while there may be a decent amount of romance, it's certainly not the right kind. This isn't the first time there was a collection like this though it reminds me heavily of the equally vile ss13 (something that also happened to be orchestrated by Sebastian mueller).

I think too much pressure is placed on brands to innovate, I think there is a stronger message in exploring the fullest depths of what your core image is. Yohji yamamoto and rick owens are masters of this, and I am personally still enraptured by every new collection they put out. Leave the crazy ideas to the young.

Btw, I think this look is fucking gorgeous regardless.

Damn a decent thread on fa...

First half of Marc Jacobs' show was pretty meh. I'm really not a fan of the EVERYTHING IS VETEMENTS XXXXXXXXXL CLOTHING AND 12 INCH PLATFORMS BECAUSE HURR DURR TRENDY. Same thing that annoyed me about Raf. The show progressed very nicely, though.

Galliano's recent stuff has been pretty good, I'm glad he's been able to make a comeback from his exile due to the Jew stuff.

Margiela is a really good brand for him. They mesh very well, and he's able to bring something that's distinctively his own in a completely different frame than he could at Dior.

>>11115610
I think this is gonna go down as one of the worst collections in history desu. Extreme I know, but even normies can tell this shit is awful.

Ervell SS16 looks like stuff an autistic kid would wear. His latest was much better.

>>11117356
What the fuck, is this Columbine core?

>>11117356
holy shit was this collection inspired by /v/?

>>11115666
Ay I'm modeling for jw anderson this year let's hope it's better this time

>>11117356
this combined with rubchinsky's latest shows are giving me the impression of an impending late 90s/early naughts revival. not sure if i like this

>>11115933
i feel like margiela isn't margiela anymore. sure, we get to see a different side of galliano, but the collections are too over the top. even rtw.

>>11118494

It's been happening a while and will continue to.

>>11118885

This stuff is a little more tame for Galliano desu. I feel like he captures the brand's essence very well, but has managed to make it more... unrestrained. Maybe this loudness is what's bothersome, but I personally love it.

>>11115610
i love this show, the energy, youthfulness, raw hems, sneakers, destroyed pieces, sunglasses. dripping of california beach life. bought a few pieces from it and plan on grabbing some more

>>11115841
You know, I actually like SLP but I completely agree that it's a full departure from Yves. It's honestly like Hedi just took the chance to build his own brand over top a recognizable name. From a financial standpoint, I'm sure that's absolutely fine for both Hedi and anyone with a stake in the brand, but it really does seem unfair by any artistic standard.

Hedi is also starting to feel stagnant imo. Which, it's totally acceptable for a designer to settle into a niche, but I think part of the acceptance of Hedi taking over the house is the idea that he's here to progress the brand. It doesn't really feel like progress to simply change the the ethos and rehash from there.

>>11118921
> Hedi is also starting to feel stagnant
>starting

hes been starting for years

>>11118921
what do you mean departure from Yves? The house was initially known for creating clothing for the youth and Hedi continues that original idea. I urge people who think it's Hedi's intent to tarnish the history of the brand to read his recent interview with Yahoo.

>>11116110
So far it hasn't stopped them from buying it, shit is everywhere in la

>>11117356
>>11118494
This is terrifyingly bad. I understand the backlash against overly tailored and skinny fits, but this is a nightmare.

>>11116110
>>11118918
its not horrible, its just not coherent to the brand and the style it portrays, you know, decadent, luxurious and elegant post punk, not fucking SupremexZara

>>11117356
i believe this year has been the worst for menswear since 2008, womenswear has been dope tho

>>11118921
>>11115841
well, if Pierré Berge agrees with whats going on i guess its not that bad for the brand overall because of this >>11118934 but still, its not YSL anymore, it lacks that Yves essence

>>11115610
I don't like it because it's inspired by fucking burger records kids in LA and they're annoying

Raf FW16/17 was pretty dissapointing

>>11119545
i genuinely think that collection is his best in recent years, it will be looked back at fondly in a few years

>>11118449
have you modelled for him before? also what other designers have you modelled for

>>11119496
eyy u mean Burger Records in OC

>>11120045
The whole varsity influence is nice, but I don't think people will be wearing his hockey jerseys any time soon lol

>>11118934
yeah but yves drew inspirations from numerous places while hedi is just a one trick pony with a hard on for rock clothing

>>11115559
virtually everything Gosha.
No artistic merit whatsoever. Putting gobniks on stage and calling it 'fashion'.

>>11121980
>runway show

Has the 2015/2016 period been the worst time for new fashion in the last 10 years?

>>11115559
Rick Owens Mens FW16 Mastodon

some really cool pieces here and there but the shoes were all shit as well as all of the pants. Completely unwearable without tripping your shit up 24/7. The show overall was very lackluster compared to the women's collection which was actually amazing.

>>11121994
yeah, its like rehashed shit from the 90s

>>11115610
Strong impressions of Kurt Cobain.

>>11117356

I actually loved this I thought the huge over sized pants where actually bearable because of how simple the silhouettes where


albeit not super innovative this was sweet

>>11122620

forgot pic

>>11121994
there has been some good stuff, just a lot of bad stuff from the people we expect solid collections from

>>11122004

Is there a full pic of those shoes on the right two? they look like fucking stans

>>11116110

normies love it broe

>>11122631
i did a shoot in those shoes lol

>>11122004
true

>>11122004
Yeah's, Mastodon wasn't that great. Really lazy Adidas model from Rick, but I do like that he used more color than usual.

The women's show was, as you said, better.

>>11124177
The colors in the women's collection were top notch, especially loved the pistachio thrown in there.
The men's collection got the piss-burned orangish brown

This thread gives me hope for /fa/
