Dear Max,
Just had a look at
the slides for resort and all I can say is fabuleux! I really loved it a lot. I have been watching you ever since you designed
the collections for Leonard and I knew that once LVMH had focused on you that
there would be a formidable future and so it seems to be true. You have a very pure esthetic that shines
through in the total presentation of the collection. I think this will go a long way to take you
to a long career.
Now, don’t get “tres fou” as the collection is good, not
great and certainly not flawless. You
have managed to employ some nuance as well pounding in of a point. You have the hard line geometric and graphic
qualities and yet when we get to evening there is an ethereal type of softness
that suddenly appears. I like the soft
and the hard and the balance will eventually find its way to each collection…I
hope! The tailoring segments are just
beautiful as well. I like the
shapeliness of the collection as it is not too too severe; just requires a good
body but then again what collection doesn’t these days? He lean bold simple palette works very well
for you here
I know that you are building your DNA and this is great but
please don’t start drinking the Kool Aid and please follow what you believe in
and not all what other designers of the present to influence you i.e. Prada
etc. Yes, I know the path become that
much more difficult but how wonderful it can be to be called refreshing and to
be referred to as a designer’s designer.
Before I dash off, I want to say that the clothes are also
very appealing at the retail level as they offer choices all with your
distinctive touch... tu comprends?
Anyway mon chere... a toute a l’heure... hope to see when
you are in NYC… ciao ciao... bisous and kiss kiss... a coffee peutetre??
J
PS... next time, skip the shorts and the hats and maybe
ditch the platform shoes..
