COURREGES THE COLORS OF THE INVISIBLE

Let’s make an assumption that the word “couturier” is pronounced “costumier”, that the word “creation” is pronounced “crémateur”, that the word “piggy bank” of the lord is pronounced “tricherie”, and thus, the dictation of fashion, all of a sudden, will have a very strange aspect. But, by starting to make too many assumptions, everything will go to hell, and nothing will be straight anymore. In this eventuality, I will sign “hedgehog”, because I sting like the latter, unless you catch me with gentleness and condescension.

YSL THE LABYRINTH OF LUXURY

It was in the center of the Champs de Mars, where there are usually the street vendors of the Eiffel Tower cleared by the police for the occasion. The way Vaccarello stigmatized this change of location or better, is to return to the style of the founder of the house. Instinctively intelligent collection, for a dive into the brain of the master of Oran. Despite all the challenges that the luxury industry faces, the Kering group has just understood that, besides communication, the most important thing is to sell in stores.

While it was becoming increasingly difficult to identify the singularity of writing among all French designers, here is the blandness of the “good” but especially of the “safe” for a perspective of a winning ticket that slides gently on the 70s and the 54 club. Life is like fashion, an eternal recommencement! It is certainly safe to say that Vaccarello has found the door to Yves Saint-Laurent or the archives, depending on your point of view. Sometimes, when creation lets you down, it is better to dig into others, but not being able to go back is a form of progression in essence.

DIOR AMAZON PRIME

Diana is the goddess of hunting, war and the night in Roman mythology, assimilated to “Artemis” in Greek mythology. Artemis, well, funny, isn’t it! Daughter of Jupiter and twin sister of Apollo, she wishes to remain a virgin forever, and when beauty makes its bed, sublime, always alone, she builds her reputation alongside men, but strangely apart too.

The one who invents, unlike the one who discovers, adds to things, and Maria Chiuri, for once, adds a touch of femininity without inventing anything. Amazon huntress to hit the nail on the head, but with the lord, it’s in the thousand billion “bollards”.

Damier Vuitton at Dior for brand synergy and a play of black and white light without the little Pharrells, but also very expensive “flesh”, and as a wink, a little Breton sailor’s shirt to infuriate the prince of Venice. With a Dijon “biker” jacket on her hips, the woman wants to be both masculine and feminine. So here I am on a journey towards my fiery thoughts in the black gravel of the thrill. Beyond the words through which I saw legs walking that stretched out to Dante’s Peak, and how far I pushed into the depths of a dream to write these words. Continue reading

PRESSIA PARIS 2025

A precise image that we recognize at first glance: elegant and… provocative. A depraved bourgeois. The night is a space of freedom, I worked a lot in the cabaret, as a room driver, he tells us, it looked like a Studio 54 type route, people were stylish, I like this show time side.

PRADA NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MIUCCIA

The man who didn’t like women continues his vacation by imposing his non-talent at Prada. This is the story of the thousand failures of the one who doesn’t like women. He is like La Fontaine: his couture is affable, but with the only test he has, to his credit, in fashion, that is to say his urine tests, they can’t ask for more from him.

This ambitious ascetic of the fashion sphere, who had mistreated the Dior brand in his time, this ‘Politico-media’ heterogeneous and without real talent, remains the shadow of Miuccia Prada. Desire for movement and energy, without being able to achieve it, he plays with confetti and redesigns the models of yesteryear from the 70s. For me, between the guillotine and Raf’s work, I always prefer the guillotine.

GUCCI 2025

KNWLS LONDON 2025

Grunge and sexy that pays homage to fashion apparently! Since it is agreed that the eyes are the mirror of the soul, why not admit that the mouth is also the interpreter of the heart, but that is another story…

FENDI ART DES JONES

Art Deco is making a comeback, and next summer, the Paul Poiret retrospective, the turn of the century for the free woman and today’s vision of the world. André Breton’s surrealism is not far away. The abundant Art Nouveau, cut down by the war, is giving way to the precious purities of Art Deco.

ANDERSON DYNAMIC DRESSING

This JW Anderson collection is young, dynamic and fun, built around simple cuts, window-dressing prints and tutu-like protuberances, you have to find something! The models crossed a vaulted room of light, passing between rows of white cubic seats, they are shod in speckled leather low boots with zippers, which were a hit, but not to be smoked.

The Irishman likes to tease the eye and tickle the minds of journalists by transposing the archetypes and details of clothing such as the dragonfly and its metamorphosis, as well as a purse that has become the main detail of a handbag, each own “Chiquito” in the end. A gray hoodie, with a photorealistic print on a silk sheath dress, and a large leather clasp on the neck, an imposing detail on a short raincoat, but it’s sunny in New York.

How to interpret this large typewritten text that appeared on some clothes? It was borrowed from an essay on design by the late English art critic Clive Bell, but who will understand! In any case, certainly not the bimbo, on my left, who sucks her teddy bear as if it were a cream ice lolly, and visibly more effective than therapy.

THE LUXURY DEPRESSION

As organic sales momentum slows even more than initially expected and visibility on a potential rebound in luxury sales in China is really low, the French group is increasing its prices.

Over the summer, luxury consumption remained strong only in Japan, driven by Chinese tourism, while the Chinese cluster slowed down, the US cluster did not improve as much as expected and Europe delivered a mixed picture.

On the continent, many consumers have adopted a wait-and-see attitude, victims of “greedflation” and price increases by many brands after COVID-19 “simply because they could get away with it rather than simply because they were a reflection of inflationary pressures. Is there a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel for the luxury sector?

DI PETSA 2025 LONDON

The story was filled with love, friendship, sun, sea, and magical realism. Every detail was written in her journal, then translated into her show, which is always more of a performance art than a way to sell clothes.

Artworks created by the designer dotted the venue. Petsa created the paintings as votive offerings to her summer loves, some platonic, some erotic. Petsa smiled backstage as she said, “You can discover me through my creations.”

LAQUAM SMITH 2025 NEW YORK

This poetic monster is one of those animals that are generally called “MY HONEY!” that is to say a woman with a husband chained to his legitimate wife like a beast, and looks longingly at the menu that he will never have, here is the brief summary of the collection of Monsieur Smith.

Close to spring 2024 with its mini-skirts and the super crop top, in a style the size of a postage stamp, in vinyl and leather with double belt, St-Tropez 1970 style. This throwback by Laquan-Smith has become a viral success on the “sail” of St Tropez of course, adding a touch of neo-preppy chic for femininity on all floors. Of sophisticated woman with casual suits, with a touch of asphalt on vacation plunging neckline to seduce males over 50 years old Rolex on the wrist, in short those who have succeeded in life.

KORS A CLASSIC BAG DRESS

“It’s a rustic opulence,” Kors said during a preview of his spring 2025 collection, summing up a seasonal trend as only he can. The designer’s mood board featured shots of romantic Mediterranean beaches.

So there were winning classics with artisanal, Italian-made extras, like a dark denim circle skirt hand-embroidered with denim flower petals, a statement beige “lace” pencil skirt crafted from leather sequins, and a black double-face cashmere T-shirt and skirt set studded with raffia pinwheels that rustled as they moved. Calais lace is back on the runways, and so is glamour, finally!

The designer better known for his bags than his dresses is making waves in New Yorkand, admittedly, this is Manhattan. Dresses that could have come straight out of the Netflix series Mad Men.

A FECAL MATTER INFLUENCER

A Fecaloid woman, and for those who read me, a bimbo named Fecal Matter! Incredible, right? Here is the scatological letter from Madame Palatine, sister-in-law of Louis XIV, great-grandmother of Marie-Antoinette! So, you can imagine that scatological texts are not reserved solely for this new generation.

“You are very happy to go shit whenever you want. So shit all your dog drunk. We are not the same here, where I am obliged to keep my turd for the evening. There is no rubbing (toilet) in the houses on the forest side. I have the misfortune of living in one, and consequently, the sorrow of going to shit outside, which annoys me, because I like to shit at my leisure, and I don’t shit at my leisure when my ass is not touching anything. Everyone sees us shitting; men, women, girls, boys, abbots and Swiss people pass by. You see by that that no pleasure without pain, and that, if we didn’t shit, I would be in Fontainebleau like a fish in water.”

CAMPBELL AGAINST WINTOUR

Instead of starting late like awards shows usually do, the Harlem Fashion Row Show and Style Awards got off to a brisk start Tuesday night at Grant’s Tomb, and it didn’t matter if Wintour was there or not!

Harlem Fashion Row founder Brandice Daniel encouraged the hundreds of attendees to support Black designers by dedicating at least 10 percent of their clothing and home decor purchases to their designs “to create change in the industry.” She also noted that Black consumers’ purchasing power for clothing and footwear is expected to reach $70 billion by 2030, making it easier to see LVMH’s risk-taking with Pharelle Williams.
