New York fashion week, London fashion week, Milan fashion week… Lot to process here.
I've seen some sentiment that New York fashion week and London fashion week... aren't really needed anymore. I went through the shows (needless to say, there were a LOT), plus some of the big London and Milan shows so far, and there was a lot to talk about, but I get the criticism. As I've said before, there's way too much fashion. With the economy and planet in the state that they're in, I think it's more important than ever to question if we need all of this. That being said, I get into VIVET and the comparisons to Kanye/Ye, the PETA protest at the COS show, the possible return of avant-garde fashion, and general industry trends.
I also take a look at Burberry, Gucci, McQueen, Coach, Thom Browne and a few other shows, before getting into the seemingly endless creative director musical chairs still somehow going on at Kering.
As always, this isn't a comprehensive runway report. More just a quick overview of things that caught my attention, what I liked, what I wasn't exactly feeling, and as always trying to see if there's some common thread weaving through everything. But there's more to come! So stay tuned for some of the biggest shows to come from Milan and Paris.
What were your favorite shows from fashion month? And who would you like to see take over Balenciaga?

I assume she couldn’t say too much, nor can she predict how it will go once Demna’s work had been digested and we have a bigger collection to dissect and compare.
However, his initial work at Balenciaga was in a similar state. People didn’t know how to feel about it, it was such a big change and within a short period he multiplied the maison’s sales by a lot. If that’s anything to go off of, Gucci is in good hands. I personally like what I see and while I don’t think I can afford it, I would be more than happy to spend the money if I could. It caters to younger, streetwear minded Gucci fans as well as older more “conservative” customers.
