My favorite shows are Dior Fall 2000 Couture, Alexander McQueen's Highland Rape, and McQueen's Voss.

Most shows can be found on Vogue or Youtube.

where can i go to discuss fashion shows anon?

[Anonymous No.13890269]

What to appreciate on those shows? Sometimes pirotecnic clothes are unwearable, even in home.

Do you go to art galleries and rate the works based on how'd they fit into your living room?

[Anonymous No.13890632]

>>13890269
Want to add on what >>13890281 said.

Often they contain ideas that are very applicable to "wearable" fashion. Like colour combination, fabrics, cuts etc even if they are exaggerated in the shows. The reason they are so over the top is (I think anyways) both to make the ideas clearer and to simply make sure you can see everything.

I haven't been keeping up with shows the last year or so. Has their been anything especially exciting I've missed? I kinda stopped watching because everything had seemed pretty stagnant.

"haute couture" means complete freedom of creation, is pure art not contrive by "wearability" or practicality.

"pret a porter" means IT IS contrive by practicality and "usability", it literally means "ready to wear".

[Anonymous No.13890813]

>>13890764
there is freedom in ready to wear, see for example thom browne or watanabe's rtw. haute couture is a highly regulated term, couturiers are appointed and some designers are invited to make a show as a guest member. couture means specifically:

>Each couture house must design made-to-order garments for private clients. The process must require one or more fittings.
>A couture house must have a atelier in Paris and employ at least fifteen staff members full-time.
>Each house must employ a minimum of twenty full-time technical people, in at least one atelier location.
>Lastly, a haute couture house must present a couture collection of at least fifty original designs to the public every fashion season. The collection must include both evening and daytime garments.

Kim Jones has a very fresh take on Dior, wonder if the space/futuristic theme is going to get bigger. Love Elon, great to see his influence in fashion aswell

SS19 womens Dries was brilliant (as usual), if Dries was a woman he'd definitely be more hip. Baffles me how he still seems to be unnoticed in sort of the more mainstream fashion culture - I guess his clothing is 'too much' for your average person and the lack of branding definitely doesn't help during these times

Alyx is fresh and Matthew has a nice take on modern streetwear, very cool

Clare is great at Givenchy, I guess if you want a Phoebe replacement - she's not a bad choice.

I liked Isabel Benenato SS19, to me it's like a combination of Rick and Yohji vibes, but with a lot less volume. Very wearable, for a runway very boring though. In real life it'd look great

Speaking of Rick, womens Babel was probably one of my favorite shows ever. If someone played warcraft, it's like burning legion or something similar in real life. Great vibes, very unwearable though. Set was nice

Demna is doing a great job at both houses, I liked the little bit more elegant take on Balenciaga while Vetements still gives you that great trashy look, the babushka-looks in FW18 are probably my favourite thing right now. Wonder if the mainstream will catch it. I can only afford to buy a few nice pieces a year, so it's always nice when you see something really inspiring on the runway and you can do the same look with thrifting or cheaper alternatives.

Meunier & Burton however are imo the best right now, love the gothic(?) elements they incorporate.

gucci f/w18 - detailed garments in old world european style (as in applique, sequins and brocade) layered over and under the 1970s. truly baroque in its indulgence, a feast for anyone with an eye for design. the conceit for the medical stage was clever as well, alessandro remarking "There’s a clinical clarity about what I am doing. I was thinking of a space that represents the creative act. I wanted to represent the lab I have in my head. It’s physical work, like a surgeon’s."

balenciaga s/s19 - clothes rather boring until the second half but the set was incredible. very interesting models as well, a huge departure from the conventional faces

ackermann s/s19 - he has been improving with every collection, this was easily my favorite from him so far
dries s/s19 - sublime deployment of a panton print

lemaire s/s19 - fucking big suits in in sometimes vibrant patterns, fisherman sandals, an unabashed embrace of the 1980s with pleats, double-breasts and all

i dunno there is something exciting every season, you have to put effort into looking

Thank you fagots, really lost in this shit. Is so hard to learn when nobody give real hints, definitions or examples.
Currently looking for change my whole closet to fit my ex-skinny body.
What I've learned is fashion shows are not to me, I will continue with instafashioners, maybe next time.

babel was a spectacular show. it made me wonder how rick will plan his funeral. either that or he and lamy are crafting ceremonies for their deaths together

[Anonymous No.13890886]

>>13890649
Yeah just my opinion. Also as an example of the exaggerating. If a designer wants you to mix formal and causal they would go to the extremes of both. Something like a black tie shirt and a tracksuit cut like a suit jacket (shity example but whatever). No one wants you to wear this but they do want you to play with different levels of formality.

And some designers/brands do shows more focused on clothes instead of "art" if that makes sense. These shows are more wearable and you can find most of the items in stores. Most shows reflect the current (and upcoming) trends in fashion.

Nothing more to add unless you want me to clarify something.

[Anonymous No.13890887]

>>13890883
no trouble. don't let anyone give you grief for not being into high fashion. its fine to just want to dress to a certain level, the art is for a different audience

[Anonymous No.13890892]

I mostly watch couture shows tbqh. what do you fags think of the Schiaparelli collections? I'm not really feeling the recent ones.

Who? events? brands? Victoria secrets make male slips? lol

Alexander McQueen "Voss" 2001 went pretty hard

[Anonymous No.13890922]

Don't know if I could pick just one but Yohji ss99 always comes to mind. Other favorites include McQueen ss99, Chalayan ss01, Helmut Lang aw98, CDG fw17, and Thom Browne fw17

ha, I've never thought about his funeral. That's actually going to be great, can't wait. Lamy might actually go soon, doesn't seem to care too much about her health. So maybe we will only have to wait like 10 years? Wonder if rick will get a new companion, that's going to be an interesting choice as well

designers and brands that focus more on wearable clothes instead of art outnumber the latter. are you certain you did not misread the sentence? if we are talking about menswear artistic fashion is rare. not deeply familiar with womens wear but i would suppose its the same. customer demand for wearable clothes alone dictates runway shows with wearable clothes would outnumber art shows

just a few random examples for menswear: oliver spencer, lanvin, hermes, burberry, band of outsiders, white mountaineering ... white mountaineering may be adventurous with prints compared to the rest of those examples but they don't send anything down the runway you couldn't wear on the street.

>>13890886 >>13890269
compared to this:
>>13889865
The dior one is way more wearable even if you wouldn't see it on the streets. And many shows are even more wearable. Can't be bothered to find pics now. Also listen to >>13890971

>>13890883
No problem! And that's completely ok maybe you'll come back and enjoy an later maybe you won't. I think I like em because because they mix two things I like (fashion and art)

One of my favorite things about Helmut was always his model choices. Kirsten Owen is my favorite of his regulars

HBA gets alot of bad reputation based on their ready to wear stuff, not all of which is bad, but when they were around their runway stuff was fantastic. I made a prediction a few years ago on this board that he would work at Helmut Lang and it turned out I was right.

I don't have detailed knowledge of shows where I can match the name of a season to what it looks like in my head. I liked that Yohji show where all of the models had bruise/cut makeup.

I made the mistake of not buying the wool jeans or whatever they are when they were on sale and now I can't find them anywhere.

thats one of the worst feels. when you know a collection is special but for some reason or another you cant or didnt cop. some stuff shows up on ebay, grailed, or yoox but a lot of other items are more or less lost forever

Seems very hard to find such places, which is really weird considering how big the business is. Most people who say they're into fashion will mostly focus on wearable clothing and they don't seem to have any interest in the shows. Still it seems weird, that there isn't even some subreddit that would be focused on high fashion and be even little bit active.

For me the way to 'process' fashion shows is to buy some fashion magazines, they feature a lot of pieces you've seen on the runway and feature interesting interviews. I've also been reading some reviews, but I still don't know enough websites like this. Some basic ones, but ones that I like checking out are Vogue (they're extremely quick to upload shows and the shots are good) and The Cut https://www.thecut.com/fashion/

If you can find real life friends who are interested in the subject, that's great. Personally haven't, even the most fashion savvy people I know don't really care about the shows.

But yeah if anyone has more websites/whatever that feature reviews etc., link pls
