Christian Dior’s YouTube channel is one of the best on the video sharing website. Period. Blessing us with awe-inspiring behind-the-scenes footage and fascinating savior-faire videos from the Paris ateliers of the fabled French fashion house – we regularly find ourselves obsessing over Dior’s uploads.

An in-depth look at Christian Dior’s Cruise 2024 collection shown in Mexico is one of the latest to be uploaded, which introduces us to the communities that worked on the collection. Maria Grazia Chiuri whisked the fashion pack off to Mexico City back in May, staging the show on location at Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso, the alma mater of famed Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. The Italian creative director collaborated with local designers on the ground in Mexico, in order to showcase the country’s traditional techniques, cultural practices and exceptional craftsmanship. As a result, models paraded a collection of airy crisp white shirts, tiered skirts, traditional huipil tops and embroidered bar jackets – complete with a series of white cotton dresses boasting words of protest rounding out the show.

Watch the hour-long Dior Metamorphosis: The Story of Dior in Mexico documentary below:

Back in May, the collection caused great divide amongst our forum members. “Lots of absolutely gorgeous clothes but I must say it’s a bit boring for me. I was expecting a little more.” [Mutterlein]

“It’s mediocre. Nothing is exciting. It’s either frumpy, ill fitting or culturally-in-your-face-inspired. Not one single piece is amazing. Maybe the white coat but they had to add that cheap a** looking belt. MGC hasn’t designed anything unique or original since she started at Dior. ANYTHING.” [WAVES]

“As safe as MGC’s clothes are, I really find it hard to find fault with a consistent designer whose clothes resonate with a real woman and real customer base. My only complaint with Dior is the extraordinary cost and negative environmental impact that is being accrued with these mega-shows in these far-off places. Is it not enough to show in Pairs, why spend such absurd amounts of money to fly the masses to a location just for press?” [Fulton St Critique]

“Just a bunch of stiff chiffon dresses this time with Mexican-themed embroidery.” [Nimsay]

“The presentation is poetic, but the clothes is tragic as usual!” [JohannesL]

As announced back in July, Chanel has flocked to the city of Manchester in the North of England to stage its annual Métiers d’Art collection. Previous locations for the celebration of the iconic French fashion house’s savoir-faire collection have included Moscow, Dallas, Rome, and Hamburg while last year’s showcase spectacular was held in Dakar. Following a show staged in Edinburgh back in 2012, Chanel has ventured back onto UK soil for 2023, welcoming the fashion pack into the Northern Quarter of Manchester. Staged on a cold and rainy December night, models paraded Virginie Viard’s latest creations up and down pub-lined Thomas Street, rocking an array of designs which paid homage to the Northern English city – from its mercantile history in textile manufacturing to its rich musical legacy.

Scroll further to read the opinions of theFashionSpot’s unfiltered forum members, regarding Virginie Viard’s latest outing as Chanel creative director:

“There are actually some cute pieces here and there.” [couturefan]

“This collection is pretty cohesive as far as silhouettes and material usage go. Usually Viard’s collections are a mish-mash of random crap. Usually a runway with looks of just only what could be salvaged. Viard finally put out a whole collection of non-ugly silhouettes. Chanel – of all brands – should never show a bad silhouette.” [Nimsay]

“It’s fine. I can see why longtime stans would hate post-Lagerfeld Chanel, but this is very much still Chanel.” [GoldenPetals]

“Can you image what Karl would have done if he were to present in Manchester? Chanel + football tackiness = yummy! Instead, we get this drab, vintage Burberry with Chanel tweed. Such a missed opportunity from Viard, again.” [RaisinBoy]

“It’s not my cup of tea but this is a good collection by Virginie’s standards. I just feel like we are missing the spirit of Métiers d’Art, which was really a bridge between couture and RTW.” [Lola701]

“Having all the looks paired with flat shoes is one of the vilest things I have ever seen in fashion. Disgusting. The silhouettes are definitely better but the prints and some colors choices are as always a disgrace.” [WAVES]

“To send the same cookie-cutter tweed suits they could very well have stayed in Paris. The only great Manchester thing here is Karen Elson walking for Chanel again.” [jeanclaude]

We don’t know where you’ve been if you didn’t already know Balenciaga had transported us to Los Angeles, California for the unveiling of their Fall 2023 (aka Pre-Fall 2024) collection. Staged December 2, on one bright Saturday afternoon on the oak-lined Windsor Boulevard, Demna’s interpretation of the City of Angels (inspired by the quintessential LA lifestyle) ranged from casual everyday looks to full-on red carpet glamour, with Nicole Kidman (as a newly-minted Balenciaga brand ambassador) sat perched front row to complete the buzz-worthy affair. As the iconic Hollywood sign made for the perfect backdrop, Cardi B and Brigitte Nielsen made surprise appearances on the runway and a surprise collaboration with celeb-approved supermarket Erewhon reared its head too.

Scroll further for how the unfiltered members of theFashionSpot forums felt about Demna’s latest offering for the fabled French fashion house:

“Demna’s point of view has not evolve after all these years. It’s boring. Provoke me to feel something about your clothes like you did with that Wall Street collection. His vision is already a parody of what fashion has become, so why go for the most obvious points of LA culture? You are cheapening Balenciaga even more. I mean Juicy Couture-inspired track suits? So 2017.” [ghostwriter10549]

“The trap beat makes this even more obnoxious and ugly than it already it is…” [disco94]

“How can a house go from being the pinnacle of Parisian haute couture to encapsulating literally everything that is wrong with the industry? How does this happen? Who allowed this to happen?” [gallianostan]

“So bad. Seriously, what happened to this brand?” [Ruito]

“Very weak collection. Demna’s talent has proven to be limited unfortunately, unless he’s so drowned in his own gimmicks that he doesn’t allow himself to move forward.” [WAVES]

“Yuck, what a mess! Some of the looks are so-bad copies of Chanel, Alexandre Vauthier and Versace. And those massive trainers, ugh..” [Mayaan]

“Does he think he’s clever? He really can’t be this delusional at this point in his career that he thinks this is landing. Is he aware of how predictable he is? Anyone could have guessed that this is exactly what his LA collection would have looked like.” [lookatme]

“This collection is as tired as am I watching those repetitive ideas season after season.” [Mrs.T]

You may still be buzzing from the recent ready-to-wear collections we’ve all just digested for Spring 2024, but Christian Dior is reminding us of the sheer brilliance of the Fall 2023 haute couture collections back in July, with the unveiling of a making-of video which takes us deep inside the Dior ateliers to bare witness to the immense artistry and craftsmanship of Maria Grazia Chiuri’s 14th couture outing as creative director.
The 20+ minute video shows the Dior artisans as masters at work, crafting each look by hand for Chiuri’s collection boasting elements that can be described as archetypal: the tunic, the peplum, the cape, the stole – each look inspired by mythology and goddesses of the ancient world. Constructed in a dreamy and muted color palette of white, beige, silver and pale gold, models paraded the 66-look collection around a set adorned with the work of artist Marta Roberti.

Back in July, our forum members raved about the collection. “DIVINE. Absolutely stunning,” raved Mutterlin.
“I loved it. Even in the still images one can see how light the tailoring is, how it just floats on the body. The jackets slightly pinched in at the waist, and the maxi skirts with a slight gather at the hem – very beautiful silhouettes. My favorite look is the black dress on Sui He,” admired Kennnnnn.
“Cut by gods, sewn by angels. Exquisitely gentle clothes. The series of white tailleurs are faultless. The plissé dresses look weightless. Some of the techniques are just incredible yet so quiet in their execution. These are clothes that are respectful of a woman and allow for graceful freedom, to be enjoyed by her, cherished. Outstanding,” voiced Dellone.

Today’s major fashion news is Moschino finally has themselves a creative director in Davide Renne, following the shock exit of Jeremy Scott back in March, who spent 10 fabulous and fun-filled years at the helm of the Italian fashion house. Scott leaves behind some immense shoes to fill, having delivered a whole plethora of joyous and unapologetically kitsch collections (and equally as dazzling advertising campaigns to match) which have helped reshape, redefine and revive the house Franco Moschino founded in 1983.
Tuscan-born Renne has been at Gucci for the past two decades, and most recently held the head of womenswear design position until his appointment at Moschino, starting his new role on November 1. After Moschino welcomed mega stylists Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, Lucia Liu, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson and Katie Grand as guest designers for Spring 2024, Renne’s debut collection is set to be revealed in February 2024 during Milan Fashion Week.

Per usual, it didn’t take long for our forums to react. “I guess his experience of working for Alessandro Michelle’s Gucci will make him a good fit for Moschino,” voiced JohannesL straight away.
“I’m intrigued. It’s a very ‘speak the same language with a different accent’ approach. It will maybe more Italian, less comical but still flamboyant. I hope he keeps working with Carlyne,” Lola701 chimed in.
“This guy has the reputation and the stature to do this!” championed forum member Tchi.
Perhydrol said: “I must say, I’m genuinely happy for Renne! He is totally capable of pushing Moschino into a more timeless and less cartoon-ish direction. I wonder what he’s going to do with all the Moschino leftovers being pushed to all the outlets out there, because that is a very serious problem for the brand right now!”

As creative director of Fendi womenswear, Kim Jones sure does love himself a good collaboration and has made them a feature of his tenure at the storied Italian fashion house. The British designer (also creative director of Dior Men) first put the collab in collaboration, linking up with fashion legend Donatella Versace to swap roles and fashion houses for one night only, which ultimately sent the industry into an absolute high-fashion frenzy during Milan Fashion Week. Next came Jones joining forces with Kim Kardashian for a special Fendi x SKIMS capsule collection and it was for Fendi’s Resort 2023 showcase in New York back in September 2022 to celebrate the brand’s 25th anniversary of the iconic Baguette handbag, which gave us Jones and Marc Jacobs teaming up (complete with supermodel Linda Evangelista making an appearance).

Jones’ next partner-in-fashion is Stefano Pilati, with the pair co-creating a collection for Resort 2024, in a continuation of the ‘Friends of Fendi’ initiative. Spanning both womens and menswear, the collection boasts splashes of Pilati’s signature tailoring and a masterclass in drop waists.

“He is a friend, an inspiration and a designer for modern times — always looking to the future, asking questions and proffering solutions.”

KIM JONES ON STEFANO PILATI, VIA WWD.COM

Scroll down for an unbiased review of Fendi’s Resort 2024 collection, all in accordance with theFashionSpot’s unfiltered forum members:

“There’s a sense of bourgeoisie that is very Fendi but it’s so sad and gloomy! I think that this collection, with colors and interesting mix of patterns would have been more Fendi. This is not the kind of clothes anyone goes to Fendi for…” pointed out Lola701.
“This feels very drab and somber… depressing,” echoed Salvatore. “Pilati feels like he has a depressive touch as of late.”
Reese06 felt the same way, adding: “It’s so gloomy and muddy. Dark and slouchy, and there’s no joy in these clothes.”
“The lack of budget that went into this lookbook says it all I think,” noted tatouejeremie.
“It’s somber for Fendi but it’s also better than anything Kim has done for Fendi by a longgggggg stretch. If Pilati could just get a little behind celebrity culture/endorsement and make a few hot ticket commercial items (which he obviously did at YSL) there is no doubt in my mind he could be at a big brand,” voiced TianCouture.
“Gorgeous silhouettes. The fabric choices look impeccable,” praised Nimsay.

In the never-ending saga of musical chairs within the world of fashion, Chemena Kamali has been named Chloé’s new creative director, following the exit of Gabriela Hearst. Hearst took her last bow as the brand’s creative director during Paris Fashion Week, following a three-year tenure at the helm of the French fashion house which was founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion.
Seven decades later, Kamali now ranks alongside fashion legends such as Karl Lagerfeld, Phoebe Philo and Clare Waight Keller who’ve all completed a stint at Chloé throughout their storied careers.
Born in Germany, Kamali graduated Central Saint Martin’s University of the Arts in 2007 and holds two years worth of Chloé experience, having worked under the direction of both Phoebe Philo and Claire Waight Keller. Prior to her return and new role as creative director of the house, Kamali was previously at Saint Laurent under Anthony Vaccarello.

Naturally, it didn’t take long for members of our forums to react to the news. “Hope she brings Chloé into an exciting era, and not back to Little Miss Boring & Beige. Curious to see her first show,” said Thefrenchy.
“Thank God they replaced Gabriela Hearst with someone competent. I hope Kamali is going to produce beautiful, lush clothing,” voiced perhydrol.
“We did see this coming and I’m here for it. I love the fact that she already worked for Chloé under Phoebe and CWK,” style_expert noted.
“I guess anything at this point is a step up from whatever Gabriela was putting out,” stated dancv.

That’s a wrap on Paris Fashion Week’s Spring 2024 season, and fashion month is now complete. 26 days, 4 fashion capitals, 2 continents and 1 whole season of pure fashion thrills, excitement, grand finales and fresh starts.
Opening up Paris was Peter Do, who ventured from New York to showcase his wears within the French capital for the very first time, delivering a collection of cropped blazers, deconstructed tailoring and sheer blouses. Next up was Maria Grazia Chiuri at Christian Dior, where the designer gave a stark (and slightly haunting) feminist statement in collaboration with artist Elena Bellantoni. Anthony Vaccarello was soon unveiling a re-do of the iconic safari look at Saint Laurent, first made famous by Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent back in 1968. The look was updated in the chicest way possible, with gloves, bangles, statement earrings and killer heels finishing off each look. At Courrèges, models walked on friable concrete and just two weeks after Balmain’s collection was stolen, Olivier Rousteing gave us a lesson in volume and sculpture (as well as… resilience). Chinos, denim and stripes were on the agenda at Dries Van Noten – “normal clothes” as the designer himself called them. For spring, Julien Dossena is dressing the Rabanne woman as a warrior, dripping in chain mail (because, what else?). Gabriela Hearst was soon taking her final bow (and dance cue) as creative director of Chloé, going out with a bang by finishing off the brand’s River Seine-set showcase with a live performance from Brazil’s legendary Mangueira samba school. Rick Owens made sure he gave us a show we won’t forget quickly, with models looking otherworldly in his designs, complete with fog cannons engulfing the Palais de Tokyo. Daniel Roseberry revisited an Elsa Schiaparelli signature: the lobster, asking Kendall Jenner to close his Schiaparelli offering wearing a full lacquered fingernail dress. At Loewe, Jonathan Anderson focused on altering proportions and Yohji Yamamoto proved black will always be in fashion. Tailoring met athleisure (and technology) at Coperni, models walked through a makeshift meadow at Hermès and a standing ovation was awarded to Sarah Burton as she rounded out her tenure at Alexander McQueen. Nicolas Ghesquière paid homage to the ultimate Parisian woman at Louis Vuitton, evoking Vuitton’s spirit of travel ideology and immersing guests within a room draped in vivid orange fabric. Mugler’s show wasn’t shy of Insta-worthy moments while the full genius of John Galliano was on display at Maison Margiela. Virginie Viard, always one to be rounding out the fashion festivities, foresees a youthful and optimistic spring season ahead, full of sequins, florals, lace and pastel-colored tweeds.
Go ahead and scroll down for a completely unfiltered take on Paris Fashion Week’s Spring 2024 season, all in accordance with members of theFashionSpot forums.

MISS | Schiaparelli

“I find it quite tacky and not fun at all. There are a lot of things I absolutely hate about it, from the pieces to the styling.” [Lola701]
“Yeah I think he went overboard with the camp. It looks a bit like glorified Moschino? I think that’s the audience he’s going for. People who want a traditional silhouette while still convincing themselves that they’re ‘mAkInG a StAteMeNt'” [GoldenPetals]
“The opening is the worst part. The unbuttoned skirts section was awful. The sliced skirt with bustier was terrible. The draped pieces were pretty good but the heavy fabrics weighed them down. [Nimsay]
See all the looks from the Schiaparelli Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Loewe

“Too much rinse and repeat.” [VERNIQUE]
“It leaves me cold. Maybe it’s the sterile presentation.” [avonlea002]
“First time I’m not feeling JW Anderson’s Loewe (his own collection did better). I guess I’m always expecting something a bit more complex from him and this felt very… light and simple? Boring would be the best word to me.” [thiago]
See all the looks from the Loewe Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Christian Cowan

“Please make it stop.” [gallianostan]
“Go back to New York this has nothing to do in Paris…” [badgalcrush]
“Its so easy to hate this. Pure trash clothing, stuff appears literally cobbled together. Stupid gimmicks shown multiple times for some reason. No actual fashion here.” [Nimsay]

MISS | Lanvin

“This is sad to see. Really sad.” [Cocteau Stone]
“Did they just give up? This brand has fallen so far!” [GoldenPetals]

HIT | Rick Owens

“I’m such a sucker for his Dune/Cyberpunk aesthetic. I can’t help but love it. I love EVERY. SINGLE. THING.” [GoldenPetals]
“Extremely well made and intriguing. Love the colors as well.” [Ihhbl]
“I do love the boots. They are fab.” [TaylorBinque]
See all the looks from the Rick Owens Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Rabanne

“A strong combination of metal and finesse.” [VERNIQUE]
“It’s definitely the strongest Dossena’s collection at Rabanne so far. It’s such a fascinating collection.” [perhydrol]
“Damn. This is gorgeous. I think my favorite collection this whole season. What a great interpretation of Paco. I love how fantastical it is, while still being grounded and wearable. I can’t even decide on a favorite piece. But the one with the peacock feathers is truly something else.” [GoldenPetals]
See all the looks from the Rabanne Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Christian Dior

“I will not acknowledge a collection presented on that set.” [gazebo]
“How are Maria Grazia Chiuri’s clothes always so drab, ugly, and unappealing? And still with the slogans!” [MyNameIs]
“I HATE it when fashion houses shoehorn political theatrics into their show to dress up a collection that’s otherwise fine on its own. Here, it seems very forced and distracting because it’s so irrelevant.” [GoldenPetals]
See all the looks from the Christian Dior Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Alexander McQueen

“Damn I’m so emotional right now.” [prylvi]
“I love it. Fierce tailoring, so elegant. Great casting too.” [Not Plain Jane]
“It was an amazing farewell collection. Some pieces are stunning. The gold was a great surprise, the thick knitwear piece, the tailoring as always and that shade of red is perfect. The cast was also great. Well done, Sarah!” [WAVES]
See all the looks from the Alexander McQueen Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Givenchy

“I like it. Looked chic and some Givenchy codes were there. It’s a step up and I see some progress.” [Ihhbl]
“Probably Matthew Williams’ best collection. But something about the entire thing is timid and unconvincing. The chiffon draped dresses are pretty as well as the satin gown with the lace and chiffon.” [reese06]
“Did Williams get some ‘help’? A consultant designer perhaps? Because it’s the first time he fully understands what it means to be at Givenchy.” [yslforever]
See all the looks from the Givenchy Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Isabel Marant

“I find this collection terribly embarrassing…” [Lola701]
“Marant’s shows have looked the same to me for the past 8 years!” [plentyofhorns]
“Remarkably awful. The pace was sooo slow and everyone looked so miserable. What happened to Isabel Marant is really wild to me. Went from 100 to 0 real quick.” [TianCouture]
See all the looks from the Isabel Marant Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Saint Laurent

“Another sublime collection from Anthony Vaccarello, I’m a little lost for words.” [vogue28]
“A total YES for me. Amazing clothes, ultra luxurious, loyal to the brand identity but with a contemporary feeling.” [Ihhbl]
“Brilliant! What a sublime collection, sumptuous for the eyes. Its very mid 80s Rodeo Drive rich b!tch YSL but modernized in Vaccarello’s own way. Definitely one of the best shows of the season!” [disco54]
See all the looks from the Saint Laurent Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Peter Do

“I’m left feeling emotionless and uninspired.” [michael123]
“I must’ve deinfluenced myself because I’m not buying any of this anymore. Those pieces don’t really have their own identity and Peter doesn’t have an eye for colour. Every nice piece could be easily sourced elsewhere, probably with better quality.” [perhydrol]
“This looks very tortured and downright costume.” [Norden]
See all the looks from the Peter Do Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Hermès

“I love this, to me its the definition of quiet luxury.” [Urban Stylin]
“Impeccable, really.” [liberty33r1b]
“I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s so good, so luxurious and expensive. The leather work on the last looks is unretouchable. Great work and amazing casting!” [Ihhbl]
See all the looks from the Hermès Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Dries Van Noten

“I liked this. As a whole, this collection feels much closer in style and spirit to his work in the 1990s.” [Kennnnn]
“Lots of beautiful wearable pieces in this collection. Loved the colors and the styling.” [Ihhbl]
“Of course my man always delivers every season.” [Ruito]
See all the looks from the Dries Van Noten Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Balmain

“I like how completely different it is to the rest.” [Norden]
“I’m surprised by how much I like it. It was almost charming, and I can see myself wearing some pieces. Look 5 is a simple but fresh take on the three pieces suit. The green top with the pink pants is a fabulous look.” [Lola701]
“I liked it a lot. It’s not always right, sometimes bordering on costume but the craftsmanship is just incredible. Olivier Rousteing loves his job and it shows.” [avonlea002]
See all the looks from the Balmain Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Marni

“When did Marni become so clownish? Most of this is extremely difficult to look at. Such poorly edited pieces.” [GoldenPetals]
“The most confusing runway presentation ever…” [Lola701]
“All the work Consuelo did to be undone by this fool [Francesco Risso] in a couple minutes. This brand is going to broke if it keeps churning this sh*t out.” [disco54]
See all the looks from the Marni Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Undercover

“In love with every thing here…” [yslforever]
“Jun Takahashi ate and left no crumbs. Stunning!” [helmutnotdead]
“Really enjoy this. At parts, it felt like he took Raf SImons’ Dior but gave it some humor and character – which is a good thing to me.” [Overindulgence]
See all the looks from the Undercover Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Courrèges

“What a fantastic collection, loved it! Sharp lines, feminine silhouettes, original use of cut. Overall, super clean and sensual too. Well done!” [WAVES]
“Very into this collection! His design language is very interesting and I love seeing him grow! Good for Di Felice!” [thiago]
“Courrèges is so hot right now. Incredible collection.” [Nimsay]
See all the looks from the Courrèges Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Nina Ricci

“The more I look the more low-budget it gets.” [GoldenPetals]
“Hard to believe that Nina Ricci had money to throw away on this. Clothes for influencers with no real style.” [reese06]
“I can’t in good faith bring myself to like this. At the end of the day, they’re still cheap drag costumes, and at the end of the day, Harris Reed is horrendously untalented and does not deserve this appointment.” [gallianostan]
See all the looks from the Nina Ricci Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Maison Margiela

“P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N.” [Ihhbl]
“Literally not a SINGLE bad thing about this collection. I want literally everything. The way he comes up with new ways to ARRANGE the garment on the body is so brilliant, and that’s not even getting into how impeccably constructed each piece is. What a serve.” [GoldenPetals]
“The only designer I care about! Everything looks sooo delicious and the menswear jacket/coats are just fire. Love it love it love it!” [Olaffo]
See all the looks from the Maison Margiela Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Rokh

“Absolutely beautiful.” [Ihhbl]
“Oh this is so beautiful. There’s something very NOIR about it. I think it reminds me of Casablanca. The cuts are beautiful.” [GoldenPetals]
“There are some elegant aspects to this collection, especially the repeated motif of the trench.” [Not Plain Jane]
See all the looks from the Rokh Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Chloé

“The final dance was her best effort at Chloé.” [Tchi]
“Worst Chloé collection ever!” [liberty33r1b]
“So much leather for a spring/summer collection. It can work, but it’s so heavy handed here. Lack of any lightness or actual joy. Thank god Gabriela Hearst is out now.” [Cocteau Stone]

HIT | Louis Vuitton

“I loved it. I didn’t expect such a calm energy, soft energy from Nicolas.” [Lola701]
“I loved it… it might be one of my fave Vuitton collections. There’s an interesting mix between the 60s and 80s here – with a touch of the 2000s in the corset and pants look.” [Overindulgence]
“Loved it. I feel like I haven’t seen this type of femininity in his collections in a while. The energy seemed different here compared to his other LV shows. It was soft but still experimental in nature, so it made the few misses tolerable.” [depordetioz]

MISS | Coperni

“Courrèges by Shien.” [LadyJunon]
“I find Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant’s fashion approach so obnoxious. No kindness, no softness, no poetry, no elegance, no romance, no art, no fragility, no chaos.” [IloveDiorHomme]
“It’s all so limp. Everything has a strange rippling or bubbling because the fabrics are either cheap or not appropriately utilized, especially at the seams.” [Cocteau Stone]

HIT | Carven

“Nice to see Carven back!” [Not Plain Jane]
“I like every single look. A very strong and cohesive collection, there is no weak look for me. I like that it’s very clean and very wardrobe-oriented. It’s full of everyday pieces but with interesting twists to grab your attention.” [THD96]
“I think it’s easily one of the strongest collections of this season. It’s relaxed and sporty in a very fascinating way.” [perhydrol]

MISS | AZ Factory

“No one asked for this.” [TaylorBinque]
“Why are they even continuing with this brand?” [tourbillions]
“Looking more and more like the Target collaboration we all collectively decided to forget. Not one salvageable look.” [YohjiAddict]

HIT | Yohji Yamamoto

“The kind of work only a master can produce. Bravo.” [dancv]
“Gorgeous as always. And very calming, particularly compared to what the fashion month has been giving to us. Love those opening jackets with the ivory sleeves and the gothic-lolita polka dots (which kind of look like the moon) for a strange dose of lightness.” [Cocteau Stone]
“Beautiful, as ever. A precious jewel in a sea of sh*t.” [gallianostan]

MISS | Mugler

“Trash. Next!” [gallianostan]
“Tacky stunts for Instagram.” [CommanderTMugler]
“I feel like this collection was only designed to have a bunch of work, slay, yaaas comments on Instagram and a bunch of snapping fingers at the show. No real fashion proposition.” [Lola701]

MISS | Stella McCartney

“H&M?” [Mrs.T]
“Seems a bit all over the place, no coherence.” [Not Plain Jane]
“This collection bores me to death. Her fabrics always seem cheap to me. The last two dresses are straight up hideous. I’ve never understood her appeal, if there truly is one.” [GoldenPetals]

MISS | Victoria Beckham

“This is so messy even for Victoria’s standards.” [youthinasia]
“Some truly utterly bizarre things here. The panty knit bathing-suit, the jersey draped sack dress thing with gray knee-highs, the sailor references? Too much confusion.” [TianCouture]
“This is a mess. Possibly her worst. Is she trying to be avant-garde or something? It’s not working Vicky.” [TaylorBinque]

MISS | Balenciaga

“This show felt like a farewell and I REALLY hope it’s true because, well, the trick has worn out.” [perhydrol]
“It’s so suffocating, so heavy, so cynical. Just stop.” [Machinegumm]
“Watching this left me in a state of profound sadness. It’s like a funeral procession for a moment in time, both disturbing and weirdly cathartic. I have no idea where Balenciaga can go from here, this show made sure that the ghost of the last years will hover around this brand for a long time to come.” [donyan]

MISS | Valentino

“It’s cold and repressed for a house with such a vibrant history.” [GoldenPetals]
“When you realize your collection is again boring and dull, so you throw money at a live performance at the show to distract people.” [90sFan]
“This brand has become such a pitiful joke. You have FKA Twigs and her clones in bodyshape-wear in a sandbox a models walk into the room like dolled up debutantes for the Vienna ball. The laser cuts designs reminded me of those wedding invitations that were popular 25 years ago. It’s high time for a change. Pierpaolo Piccioli is clearly and visibly at his wit’s end.” [VERNIQUE]

HIT | Sacai

“Finally we see a softer side of Chitose Abe! Love it. I need these incredible black flare trousers with the matching striped balloon top.” [VERNIQUE]
“Definitely my favorite collection this season, practicality mixed with elements of sensuality and freedom. Bravo!” [Constructionist]
“The long lean trousers are delightful; the clean white section (that oversized vest!); the distorted fairisle sweaters and striped shirts; the sheer elements: it’s all so desirable.” [Not Plain Jane]

MISS | Chanel

“For me the worst part of Virginie is that every collection just merge into the other, I really can’t tell seasons apart, always the same silhouettes, patterns, pieces, etc.” [ReneSanchez]
“This collection is like an ugly cousin of Sonia Rykiel, designed exclusively for people with no personality.” [perhydrol]
“I can’t understand why Virginie’s dresses are so ugly, she’s worked with Karl for years and seems incapable of creating an attractive black dress. The collection has no inspiration or personality, it’s just clothes, worse than that, it’s ugly clothes.” [Danilo Braz dos Santos]

MISS | Miu Miu

“Absolute trash.” [helmutnotdead]
“The amount of branding is actually f*cking insane.” [sussienmcswanny]
“Well this was a boring dud. The clothes mediocre, the styling trying so hard that it falls so flat even before one can start laughing at it. Horrible casting of blonde, white clones of nothingness and ZERO character. What a sad finale to fashion month.” [90sFan]

HIT | Ann Demeulemeester

“I really like it and it is a very good debut collection from Stefano Gallici. It was exciting, pulsating and it actually felt new.” [LadyJunon]
“This is by far the best collection they’ve done so far , and there’s real potential here.” [donyan]
“The collection is quite good, miles better than the train wrecks that this house had gotten us used to in the last few years. If Gallici continues to improve, I see hope for this brand.” [YohjiAddict]
