MISS | LaQuan Smith

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“It’s like a street hooker trying to be classy…” [jeanclaude]

“I saw some promise at the start but unfortunately the mixed bag of some good pieces with some horrible ones threw off the whole thing, He needs to get a quality control team as well as someone to help source fabrics.” [Urban Stylin]

MISS | Tory Burch

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“Those white tights…” [jeanclaude]

“At least it was a short presentation. These clothes are awful. That gulf blue leather skirt is criminal. That white clover print dress that changes to polka dot along with that white fringe coat is also criminal.” [Nimsay]

“I’m really confused by this direction for Tory Burch and the Burch woman. There are some decent jackets and coats in here, and some interesting co-or sets but I still don’t get ‘Tory Burch’ from this.” [Cocteau Stone]

MISS | Ludovic de Saint Sernin

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“It’s all just so… obvious. Nothing seductive about it honestly.” [TianCouture]

“Ludovic de Saint Sernin is so surface level and conceited it’s almost too funny. He needs to up the ante when it comes to their pattern cutting and designs. It’s been the exact same for a long time now. The same thing rehashed over and over again, and has gotten worse and more simplified over the years too.” [Cocteau Stone]

“Ludovic De Ain’t Serving.” [chinsumo]

HIT | Altuzarra

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“I thought I was watching The Row for a minute. Lovely, gentle show. I can see a lot of Perry Ellis in there. Also Alaïa’s Spring 2024 show casts a long shadow, especially in the extravagant use of buttons and pillbox hats but I rather enjoyed this.” [Dellone]

MISS | Mentor

HIT | Jason Wu Assortment

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

HIT | Khaite

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

Actually all the jackets were exquisite. It’s always such a joy to see these collections for someone with a minimalist heart.” [philophile]

MISS | Proenza Schouler

MISS | Eckhaus Latta

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“Some of that, no wait, all of that knitwear is so ugly.” [youthinasia]

“I remember Eckhaus Latta were all the rage about 6 years ago, inside the more ‘less mainstream’ and more hypebeast-y crowd. No idea who is this brand for these days.” [dontbeadrag]

HIT | Tommy Hilfiger

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

MISS | Prabal Gurung

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“He does not understand volumes. It feels like someone with very bad voice trying to sing opera…” [jeanclaude]

MISS | Christian Siriano

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“New York fashion week does NOT need this person.” [GoldenPetals]

“His pattern making always confuses me. I understand that certain designs and shapes need a waste seam. That’s a no-brainer, but the way he goes about it just always pisses me off. So visually obtrusive.” [Cocteau Stone]

“He has been in the business for so long, but the cut and construction of his clothes is still very poor. He should have bought the archive from Zac Posen and copied the patterns.” [JohannesL]

MISS | Helmut Lang

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“This didn’t need a show.” [tourbillions]

MISS | Luar

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“What an odd collection. This stuff is really well made but is absolutely dreadful. Those exploded coogie sweaters with a watch necklace is so 2008. The embossed ostrich skirt is interesting but shouldve been done in a wool. More dated looks; showing the thighs. Lots of pleather looking material. Overall its not great.” [Nimsay]

It’s awkward. and out of contact. the evil proportions and the fluffy boots blended with the lace throws the entire thing off.” [TerraVera]

“Absolutely not. I don’t care how well-constructed this is, it’s contrived. The silhouettes and volumes are DERANGED.” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Luar Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Gabriela Hearst

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“Ugly shapes and cheap looking fabric. It’s easy as hell to be a fashion designer nowadays!” [Alquimista]

“This collection lacks substance, even for Gabriela’s standards. The last two looks are completely out of place.” [perhydrol]

“A lot of very out-of-date ideas here. That knit dress with the holes is giving Amazon.” [Nimsay]

See all the looks from the Gabriela Hearst Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Thom Browne

IMAGE | SPOTLIGHT

“I love all the hidden animal prints and ‘juvenile’ prints behind his super seriously styled looks.” [tourbillions]

“He can be so heavily referential and still so unique and fantastic! I absolutely love this side of fashion and I appreciate him so much for this! Everything is perfectly constructed, cut, layered – so good. I’ll say it again: this is the man who should be Chanel’s creative designer.” [WAVES]

“I always enjoy Thom Browne collections and this is no exception. It all feels cluttered and avant garde but when you look carefully you see a story.” [Urban Stylin]
