The ability to recall and connect the slight ” plagetism” is uncanny. Fashions used to take years to replicate with a new spin but now it seems after 5 or 6 years, it is happening. Part of me feels that creativity has either waned due to budgets and oversight by shareholders.
As a consumer who looks to the shows for inspiration as well as feeling a need to add amazing pieces to my wardrobe, I feel I have every piece shown already hanging in my closet. As for Dries, and as a collection prior to his sale to Puig, I see a decline in originality, fabric and inspiration. In addition the doubling of prices for inferior workmanship. This collection will only encourage me to buy vintage and upcycle because no way can I justify an unlined trechcoat for 3,800.00 dollars.
Thank you Marilyn for you discerning eyes.
