VETEMENTS fall 2022

 “Today’s fashionable young people reject binaries in favor of plurality, and they seem uninterested in the old guard’s status markers—or maybe a better way of saying it is that they’ve assigned status to unfamiliar things.” ... word salad from the designer

Guram Gvasalia gave me one memorable take away when he printed on a sweatshirt... I did nothing, I just got lucky!” as the photos show there is nothing here to write home about or to be considered new or even shocking other than this is considered to be fashion. The emperor's new clothes have arrived once more.

From his perch in Geneva, this wannabe much hyped hack is laughing all the way to the bank because tasteless label whores, who have no idea what a designer really does, believe the crap that falls out of his mouth and onto the runway. How many people do you expect to see dressed in these looks save a few coats and oh gee another puffer!

When the brothers started, they talked about getting rich and I’m quite sure they did off the backs of the unknowledgeable and incredibly over rated “influencers” and media who continue to pander to these brothers.

They have successfully defamed one of the greatest names in fashion and created one big Vetements collection which is indecipherable from the once vaunted Balenciaga.

Per chance if this was H&M, id have a different opinion although I highly doubt it but what I do know is that this is one more stain on the business of fashion!

GUCCI spring 2022

Attention all media elite, fawners and label whores... the circus has arrived.... Gucci on Hollywood Blvd... it was a sort of Norma Desmond collection which included 1001 ways to show a satin suit, what a nickel a blow job hooker might wear to pick up a quickie, some Myrna Loy or Ginger Rogers gowns and a whole of freakin ugly useless clothes that will come at a price not only to the consumer, if they are stupid enough to buy, as well as to Kering where the signs of the Gucci bubble bursting is already in progress.

It’s just one more freak show backed up with his circular illogical nonsensical and faux intellectual blather that accompanies every collection. These are the clothes of whim, ego. hubris and fancy that have absolutely nothing to do with sell throughs or merchandising.  This is just one more pile of expensive crap to throw on top of the ever growing pile and further tarnish the brand that was once a silent signal of having arrived!

There is no point to really get into it as the images speak for themselves and if reviews spend have their ink talking about Hollywood and barely mention the collection then you know there wasn’t much one can say and that they haven’t a clue as to what they saw.

The lack of sophistication is palpable, his twisted conception of glamour is ignorant and pedestrian at best and who exactly wants to look like a freak and where exactly are they going in the era of COVID....  it’s not over yet... regardless of what this genius may think.
