Tsunami
alert!!... the flood gates of praise are open!... There will be receptacles for
your wet panties and depends at the exits! Smelling salts available at the
first aid station as well as amphetamines for those who need to wake up after
this endless cavalcade of referenced, borrowed and generic collection of
clothes…. Just clothes.

Anything that was truly show stopping … and I’m not talking
about one of those Hadid girls dressed up
like someone’s mother from the 60’s, hair and all… and believe me, there were only
few but they were nothing short of exercises and reduxes of what ateliers had
already created decades ago for the greats.

Let’s speak
of the “borrowing/ referencing/ copying” aspects… I saw the Bonnie Cashin paper bag hat for
starters, then came unendingly memories of the Rooskie iteration of Balenciaga,
YSL, Valentino, Thom Browne, maybe even Jane Fonda dragging her shawl onto the stage
at the Academy Awards and the list just goes on. I even saw a hint of Barbra in
her pillbox and matching coat!

If one wasn’t
aware that this was a fashion show one might have thought this was a come on
for fetish dressing... you know “daddy hopes he doesn’t haven’t to spank his
little girl” kind of thing. Then, of course, there was this multi decade revisitation
that might be a first ranging from the 50’s to the present time.

I’m not
interested in the models, I am not interested in who sat where, I am not
interested in the staging. I am interested in clothes and let me say that this
was nothing more than Marc being Marc and being lauded for whatever it is he
does which is to fill runways with lots of boring or shocking clothes to feed
his hungry throng of adoring blindfolded media critics.

For me this
was one more time of ending the collections with a major thud!
