Balmain pre fall 2022

After just having looked at the slides for both Balmain and Balenciaga and having read both reviews, I realized, albeit maybe I wasn’t quick witted enough previously, to realize that these designers have nothing in common with the brands that they helm. It is strictly about them; they fool themselves and I’m sure many stupid followers who believe that they take into consideration the true DNA of the legendary brands they design under.

Then it occurred to me that if the 2 collections would just be under their names and not the heritage names but then no one would have paid attention at the start. They speak of their output as in I want, I see I I I .... no mention of actual heritage that made these names forces of fashion.

In other words, any pretense of the past is obliterated except for possibly a logo so if that what you really want then you got it. Rousteing is talented, there is no question about it but he now just designs clothes that suit his whim ...clothes for label whores and influencers and Kardashians... whoopee! Who dresses like this and where are they going in these clothes? My mind keeps going to that shoe with the heel that is pitched at the top of the arch which in my estimation will throw one’s body off balance and probably make you ache head to toe after wearing!

These looks, if picked apart, there are jackets and skirts and even some dresses but he never of speaks to PIERRE BALMAIN, the reason he has a job, in any way ... and maybe that’s the point. One more time I will say designers talk too much these days as who cares about your personal journeys... this is a business of selling clothes and if not clothes then it is a business of accessories, scent, cosmetics, shoes and anything they hang the label on. It’s a waste of talent and waste of brand.

As for Demna he just so full of himself and of hubris that it’s appalling in every way ... it is all about him and the almighty dollar... that’s it! It’s repellant and repulsive! No photos needed as there is nothing to see.

Balenciaga spring 2022

Get moose! Get squirrel! Send Demna, aka the grim reaper of fashion, back to Siberia before this virus spreads!

He has completed the desecration of one of the most fabled names in the world of fashion. The fawner will drool, the trendoids will go broke trying to own it and damp Depends are the order of the day for the fashion media.

He has made a mockery of fashion; Rochester Big and Tall for Men and Women. looks like a death march to me so I think their next store opening should be in a dumpster or perhaps in a mausoleum with a red interior. Aside the from the fact that shock the value is over, he is a caricature of what he has already done and thinks he is a star which the vaunted media elite has made him.

I have chosen not to waste any more words as it all speaks for itself and those who find this worthy of any favorable words! Enjoy it!

 THE SECRET  THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN MADE PUBLIC.......

Redundant, not a new  concept in sight other than showing the same outfit in 5  color ways, yawn worthy, trendoids beware, fashion media get those  diapers, 40s/50s menswear influence, turtleneck shells ( ask your mother) with matching opera length gloves, varsity jackets, car coats, draping sweat pants, more puffers, raw sienna is not the most asked for  color in the pantone  book, all modeled on punk like neo Nazi  type  models, and after 100 looks  you  really have to wonder who was waiting for this.

This GEORGIAN thinks he will tip the scales of fashion with this crap. The best   top was the first and then it just went downhill from there. Demna must have this ego that’s bigger than Jeff Bezos’ bank account to even think this is anything   but more thrift store stuff cleaned up and copied ... and yes, we all need more tee shirts with words on them and more adidas sweat suits....

So, my question is “where’s the beef?”

Balenciaga couture fall 2021

Oh, Demna what you don’t know or understand about true pure fashion could fill an encyclopedia and what you know inundates that ego you truly believe he can change fashion or actually knows what he is doing. with one of the richest archives in the world of any designer there are so many things you fail to see or understand especially about couture.

Do you honestly think you could improve upon Mona Bismark’s faille robe du soie or Jayne Wrightman’s feathered dress...if you even tried to   duplicate them you might have noticed that they appear to be weightless. Adding a humpback or osteoporosis to the originals does not make you a designer but it makes you a destroyer. Your so-called homage pieces look like they are made of cardboard. You don’t grasp those designers like Balenciaga, Charles James and Christian Dior were also architects of fashion. Their clothes appeared formed to the body and almost weightless in most cases except in true winter wear.

A big hat and a number don’t make it couture nor does throwing a comforter over an arm in place of a stole. Those men designed for women and not to feed their ego. Your hubris and self-importance are almost laughable as the pieces come out looking like school projects with no idea of how those great men designed and why they designed...those elements are lost on you... and you   forgot about the ateliers but that matters not to you!

Hide yourself in Geneva, hide the stockpiles of money that Kering foolishly pays you to disrespect and decimate of the greatest designers of the 20th century... if you fell off the earth tomorrow, you wouldn’t be missed nor be remembered for anything other than that Russian who did a hatchet job on fashion.

Balenciaga fall 2021

 WHY? That is my question!

                                                           CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE

Aside from the utter desecration of an once heralded heritage brand …. WHY?


                                                           CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE

WHY is this news?


                                                           CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE

WHY is this press worthy?  


                                                            CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE

WHY isn’t the fashion media embarrassed by what they write about this?


                                                             CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE

I only come up with one answer and it has nothing to do with style or fashion ... it is blatantly only about attention and the mighty $$$ …judge for yourself and tell me in these precarious times why this is important or relevant on any level?
