Vetements

Guram Gvasalia explained. “But when we still live in the real world, with Apple’s headset yet to be released, we wanted to create a physical object that would give the look and feel of an AI generated image.” The point of the exercise, much like what Jacobs was getting up to with his analog 1980s designs, was to champion the human. “At its core,” Gvasalia continued, “the collection is actually anti-AI, as quality can only be done by human hands.”

The resulting silhouettes are hyperbolic the way clothes in virtual reality are, especially the pants which puddle at the floor like poured taffy.

I wish it was more monotonic — i feel like when you’re playing with proportions that aren’t familiar, it might overwhelm the person to say no when you’re dropping a lot of colors into the mix.

Given, most of my favorite looks were the black coats shown above.

Rick Owens

Wtf man that was intense — I guess he really did evoke an emotion with it.

I f*cking love the fact they only had one color - BLACK.

Incredible.

Ok on a more nuanced note, I like the tops most of the times, I loved the hoods on pieces you typically don’t see. I have to say one of the more interesting looks related to suits that could breath some life into the death of suit dressing (people were making the suit pants shorts for Gods sake).

I get the aesthetics of the shoes are a bit different now, but truly didn’t feel the pants/shoes.

Rick Owens said: “This morning when it was raining I was almost hoping it kept raining during that show. That no one would turn up. Then we’d have that same vibe, that emptiness, which is what I loved about those shows. It was like ‘even under these circumstances, we’re going to forge ahead and run it even if nobody shows up. We’re still gonna do this. Because we’re unstoppable.” Yet this was mindful consumption, contradiction with a cause, fashion with a position. Bang! It was beautiful, for the damned. I felt overwhelemed the at the end wtf

The tops in all of this and the loopy loop is sickkk — especially look 3 and 5. All over, 23, 24, and 32 are great as well.

After a few years of wondering why Rick is considered one of the Goats, I finally get it — I get it. Ricky fucking Owens man.

JW Anderson

V underwhelming to be honest, but Idk what to expect form a guy who’s label is just his name and isn’t notorious yet.

The figures of everyone involved looked similar and cohesive in an odd way, but there wan’t a piece that grabbed my attention that much.

SHORTS — the disproportioned shorts are my personal favorites and it’s clear to see they’re being used repeatedly as he found something that he even is amazed by. Looks: 6, 11, 40, 41, and 42.

Aside of that v underwhelming and chill…

Wales Bonner

Wales Bonner

I want to like it, and I don’t that kind of bums me that I don’t.

Maybe it’s because the spring/summer line is quite different from the fall/winter lines that i usually have a large affinity towards.

I want to learn more of her story and how her designs are different in the aim of understanding her work in depth.

The coat at the end and some of the tracksuits were incredible making me think that there’s more here than meets the eye.
