@comradejosh7 Completely agreed! Made a Tiktok about this yesterday basically saying it’s a veteran guilt film and that he lacks the ability to engage with the concept of real justice.
@Berlinger I agree with your take to an extent, because the art of tailoring is literally one of the cornerstones of couture. But truthfully, I enjoy conceptual couture just as much as skilled couture. Ready to wear is where designing against the body actively frustrates me a lot more.
I’m so moved by all the nods to divine motherhood in this collection. And relieved he didn’t just default to only Indian silhouettes or to more overt recreations of imagery (no shade to Rahul Mishra on this point though)
@dearvotion There’s more fairy tales & toy iconography than horror in the full collection. It reads like a critique of the current fashion landscape’s over-reliance on nostalgia. Every designer has their signatures. Wun at least puts thought into the purpose of each element of the looks.
@rianphin Diane Pernet’s review of Robert Wun’s show was fully AI when I read it earlier in the day. I checked it again an hour ago & now it’s completely different, so it seems reviewers are also now using AI slop to drive search ranking by being first to publish with placeholder content.
