THE MISSES:

Gucci

“The Gucci woman, no matter who the creative director is, is supposed to be strong, glamorous, powerful. This woman isn’t any of those things – she’s nerdy, frumpy, and is in no way aspirational.” [gossiping]

“So he extended his ‘quinoa munching librarian meets spoken word hipster poet’-mess officially into the women’s line as well… This will become stale really quickly, in fact I’m yawning already but will probably sell like hotcakes. Now if you’ll all excuse me, I’ll go bury Gucci’s former luxury glam-sex aesthetics outside somewhere where it’s quiet.” [Vitamine W]

“Gucci went from sleek, modern, alluring and a sexy but subtle woman, to a frumpy girl that has ill-fitting clothes, doesn’t like to party, doesn’t go to great restaurants or gets invites for memorable parties because she likes to stay in the house reading for her cats and has no sense of confidence or notion of sexiness.” [miguelalmeida]

Blugirl

“It’s average nothing really special to me.” [elle_gb]

“Blugirl? Bluolderwoman is more like it.” [Vitamine W]

“Some of the pieces actually weren’t that bad if you just look closely… as an overall collection though it wasn’t that great. The styling and hair and makeup isn’t very good. Definitely old lady vibes.” [ktlorai]

Moschino

“Can’t even lie, I felt old watching this. Like, I wasn’t only old enough to remember but old enough to wear the original versions of things Scott is reworking here – the pop-y, hip hop-lite stuff from the early 90s, the Looney Tunes stuff circa the Space Jam era, so that’s making me want to cry lol.” [Spike413]

“One day, he will have to change his approach of Moschino. I like the fact that it’s a bit cleaner but this is not my idea of fun. The show is entertaining and ‘fun’ but you can do fun and desirable without it being cartoonish. I think the day he will lose all those pop culture references and actually go deep in the designs, his work will be interesting.” [Lola701]

“Feels like a 1987 collection done by children in that year.” [jeanclaude]
