HIT:Moschino
“Say what you want about Jeremy Scott as a designer, but no one in the industry puts on a better show than him right now. It almost felt like watching a John Galliano for Dior show.”[LMV]
“I love this: the presentation, the cast and especially the ‘painting’ part. Jeremy Scott is one of the few that could actually adapt the shows and make them entertaining.”[FelipeV]
“It’s fun, campy, not too serious, love the cast. Moschino has grown on me, every once in a while I’m pleasantly surprised by how some of the pieces look on red carpets or videos with different styling.”[CommanderTMugler]
“I’m tired of the whole presentation already. The same music, same setting, the model hand gesture, the annoying dancing. As for the clothes, did they sanitize them before presenting them? Why does everything look so cold and sterile?”[THD96]
“I am looking at it and trying to understand what kind of woman could wear that. I am clueless. Not sure Raf’s contribution is bringing good things to the brand.”[ah ah]
“I’m kind of shocked, and almost embarrassed to confess on here, how much I dig this new Blumarine. It’s really genius that they’re jumping on the early 2000s bandwagon when so many other brands are doing the same crap! I think this is well executed and there are pieces here that are tacky for all the right reasons…”[GERGIN]
“Very late 90s/early 2000s, but it’s good!”[Lola701]
“Low-key hate myself for loving this so much. Desperate times and we need fun!”[RedSmokeRise]
“It’s just too identical to Fall 2020. What’s worse is that it’s boring in comparison…”[GERGIN]
“I feel disappointed. The latest couture collection was glorious and this offering feels more suitable for REDValentino. The looks are not that bad, they’re just not exciting. It’s just a bunch of commercial stuff for young people. But do young people really want to dress like this?”[perhydrol]
“What a mediocre, lazy, full of copycats, boring and fugly collection.”[Olaffo]
“There’s not an ounce of originality. Every single look can be traced back to a collection from Jacquemus, Max Mara, Dior or even Yeezy… He has no business doing womenswear.”[avonlea002]
“When your ambition doesn’t match your talent.”[ah ah]
“This is a joke, right? Where‘s the real collection?”[liberty33r1b]
“Tragic. All the T-shirts with those stupid slogans look fake and extremely cheap. They think that the looks are sexy, but they’re really not.”[perhydrol]
“It’s like if Philipp Plein designed a collection completely ripping off Jeremy Scott and Balmain concepts.”[GERGIN]
“Looking at the collection from beginning to end, it feels like you are looking at Isabel Marant and then suddenly it’s turning into Altuzarra… Weird.”[Lola701]
“This could be Ferragamo, Max Mara or Tod’s…it’s totally devoid of any identity!”[jeanclaude]
“At this point I don’t even feel the need to criticize her. Just another ‘premium’ brand you will find in any high-end mall. The good times are long gone so it’s no surprise she is doing the bare minimum in order to stay afloat.”[avonlea002]
“Not the strongest and most coherent collection from Alberta Ferretti and even as a long-time fan I can admit that.”[vogue28]
“A lookbook or an audition for new clowns at the circus?”[jeanclaude]
“Yeah, no. This is not Marni at all. Like no.”[TaylorBinque]
“Marni feels like never-ending London Fashion Week. It’s the same feeling of being stuck with the idea of creating graduate collections to show some tortured ideas and the results are usually appalling.”[perhydrol]
“Does Karl Templer think we never saw any early Ghesquière/Balenciaga collections?”[bc collector]
“It’s extremely reverential and literal. I can see some Pringle of Scotland by Clare Waight Keller in the first few looks and then it becomes a Celine madness.”[perhydrol]
“A very bland result compared to the amount of money they must be throwing at this.”[tatouejeremie]
“I scroll through this over and over again and nothing catches my eye…as empty as it gets.”[YohjiAddict]
“So uninteresting! I wish for the ingenious ideas ofMaxMara to return …Nothing has actually yet topped the jewel-toned collection fromFall2019 …”(********************************** )
“There’s a lack of refinement throughout the entire presentation, which Max Mara usually provides, and it’s a shame.”[WAVES]
“Where is his mastery of sophisticated yet casual separates? This looks cheap and embarrassing…gone is the clever styling replaced by a Forever 21 sensibility.”[YohjiAddict]
“I am disappointed. Alessandro Dell’Acqua was always one of the very few designers who knew how to design easy and elegant clothes with the high fashion touch. I hope it is just a one-time failure.”[avonlea002]
