where did it go wrong

[Anonymous No.15263034]

>>15262920

SS2010 is where it started to go wrong,

after aw2009 it's obvious to me that he felt burnt out and disillusioned with fashion and the fashion system. because SS2010 was striped back with the ethos of "less but better", then aw2010 he publishes "the mentality of reverse running" on the inside of all his clothes which lays out exactly how discontent he is with the fashion system. this can be seen as jun's own "less but better" philosophy so it's a clear continuity from the previous season

from there his menswear just totally regressed to basically being glorified fashion merchandise with very little design to it, JAMC, can, talking heads, david bowie, who else made appearances between 2011 and 2015? underman as well was just a throwback to his childhood, and honestly looked like a Uniqlo collab more than an undercover collection.

This makes sense though he was doing a uniqlo collab during these years and started doing gyakusou with nike around this time so it's not really surprising that while he was upset with paris fashion he wouldn't branch out elsewhere . The womenswear doesn't seem to have suffered as much to me especially once jun got past his retrospective in ss2016, AW2016 boremans collection was good but, for the mens that momentum didn't really carry and jun just kept doing shitty pop culture references and all over prints, i mean the kubrick collection was just god awful.

for menswear it took until the nosferatu and throne of blood collections that jun finally hit on interesting cultural references again and interpreted them in interesting ways. i am optimistic about undercover again but, the one thing that always bothers me is while the design is usually great bu the fabrics always feel cheap and shitty. thats fine when you're doing punk and rock n roll references ala "t" ss2006 but, when you're trying to do like luxe sport knits like aw2007 and aw2009, or leather jackets (aw2009,aw2016, aw2020) you have to use better materials

back with Craig Green SS2015, as promised.
really enjoying this thread so far, being able to talk about and share shows makes me excited about it again
>>15264149
only seen a couple, but I thought his men's FW2017 was a bit weak, like he was trying to recapture an old working-class vibe and mix it with high fashion but failing. FW2020 was stronger and didn't feel so homogenic or boring
women's FW2020 was alright, but I was much more interested in the smaller details than the complete outfits

[arachni No.15264580]

>>15264149
imo his men’s shows generally got a lot worse after ss16, albeit there’s still a good amount of redeeming stuff to his newer shows where you can’t really say they’re bad shows. his women’s shows are still quality though.

ok but, that doesn't contradict what i said at all.

EVERYONE likes 90s yohji EVERYONE likes margiela's hermes it's boring and pedestrian to be touting the exact same 20+ year old collections that everyone has been jerking off for the last 20+ years

>>15264149
weak.

he's not even designing the men's anymore so it;s not surprising. what is surprising is he's making more money than he ever has despite basically doing the same collection for the last 6-7 years

>>15264580
>his men's shows got weaker after ss2016
>his women's shows are still quality

please just stop posting for a couple years until you learn something you're so clueless

>>15264310
it's a real shame he's never really grown from this shtick although i suppose thats more indicative of the failure of the CSM to LFW pipeline and their insistence on developing art directors rather than designers. thus further reifying the repetition mindset that has plagued the art world of the last 40+ years

>>15264918
yeah it was like most of undercover's output of the last decade...not good....

ironically his student work was more interesting than anything since.

he's just done what he was taught in art school, narrow down your schtick and build your brand on it, repeat for 50 years call yourself avant garde

>too much of a fashionlet
what you like is totally subjective. nothing wrong with that. im a probably as much of a fashionlet as you are. personally i really like jil sander's first run as head designer (until january 2000). i don't like the brand's stuff after that though and think raf's stuff with them is just really overrated. you can find some of her shit here since vogue doesn't seem to have it and you can say if you like or not:

There's a lot that Vogue doesn't have. It's a bitch to try and find older stuff, that's in somewhat decent quality.

it is so abundantly clear you have never owned a single issey miyake item lmao

>>15268109
>contrived

issey's been doing coats like that since the mid 70s, regardless the cut of the garment isn't really the interesting part of issey clothes and hasn't been for a really long time imo

>>15269164
tried to pivot away from their niche because burnt out goth japanese fashion died in the mid 2010s, stopped autistically caring about fabric choices like he did previously, not much of a way back now. Ironic because it seems The Viridi-Anne is chugging along in that same niche just fine

[Anonymous No.15269784]

>>15269774
yeah, I've been trawling jp auction sites for NUKE and really old Julius pieces bc they're fairly affordable, and the level of detail/quality on the fabrics is absolutely incredible. big fan of viridi-anne as well, but the styling is a bit different than what I'm going for.

Doesnt change your opinion just makes it invalid.

[arachni No.15269899]

so the validity of what runway shows i like is based on whether i buy their shit or not and there’s valid and invalid things to like

>>15269784
there might be a guide laying around for julius but, what i got passed onto me by the older /fa/ trips who loved julius was the first three yeas of julius(03-05) have the best quality and most interesting treatments of leather however, the cuts are really all over the place, most of it is really dated, beyond that the golden age of the bran seems to be 2009-2012(+ fw2013) wouldn't bother with anything outside of that range.

look at MA julius for the leathers as well, there was this one absolutely insane one from 2015 (of course i can't find photos anymore) that was straight out of a H R Giger painting, one of the craziest leather jackets i've ever seen had a chance to try it on when i was in la in 2016 just blew my mind

[Anonymous No.15270321]

>>15270295
yeah, I'm looking at early stuff more out of curiosity and maybe for a unique conversation piece rather than trying to build a cohesive fit out of all pieces from then. I remember a lot of discussion back when I first came onto this board (2013-2014), but I was far too poor to do anything other than thrifted palewave shit. now, I'm finding a lot of nostalgia in that stylezeitgeist/Shui Tsang wannabe aesthetic from back then, plus I'm finally in a financial position to make it possible. mostly I think it's a perfect fit for my otherwise difficult bodytype (6'1, 120 lbs), which otherwise makes other styles pretty difficult. plus I live in a cold climate, so all the leather and layering is pretty much perfect

shuis fits are great and yeah if you're that thin you'd look good in it, shui was like maybe 5 ft 10 at most and rail thin so you're in the ballpark :)

[Anonymous No.15271706]

>>15270369
his fits are actually pretty easy to emulate. just need a pair of high black boots with a thin silhouette and Yohji gabardine pants. everything else you can just throw layers on without much issue.
