Embracing a brand new journey without its OG creative director doesn't have to be an easy thing😮
A legend is gone and I miss him dearly 😢❤
1990s & 2000s mix again? Boring.
❤
I fully appreciate the effort put into this by the design team, but it's painfully clear that Dries is gone and that this lacks some of his, oft microscopic, finesse. This feels like a collection from someone who's studied Dries, read the "books", measured with a ruler, memorized the palette…but they don't live inside of his world or his head. What's really missing here is Dries master of proportion. Everything is a little too expected, nothing is electrifying. Its all too young ladylike, whereas Dries really seemed to have all women in mind, especially the ones who didn't want to dress like young ladies. Perhaps that's the tool of a powerful force in the fashion world, someone who can wield boldness. I imagine the team had less freedom at their disposal to really push the envelops that Dries (and some of his contemporaries) was able to as the founder of his own house.
What I do like, and what I wait for every season with Dries, is the color and print. Are they done in that otherworldly way that only he could do? No, but they're a breath of fresh air in a season full of neutrals, earth tones and sickly pastels.
