Watched the show online and jburgh said it best: they’ve killed the brand for me.
Some pieces were interesting but the collection over all was not even slightly anything of the aesthetic I would associate with BV.
The cuts and silhouettes were awful. I mean if it makes a statuesque beautiful model look like a goblin, garden gnome, how on earth will that ever translate well to real women and men in the street? Not everyone is an attention seeking influencer pimping themselves on Instagram for likes. Most of us have real jobs and these clothes are anything but for the “real women” DL supposedly designs for.
For me the vibe was too grungy and a lot more reminiscent of something I would expect if Heidi Slimane fused with Demna Gvalasia.
Bags looked cheap and uninteresting. The quilted puff bags looked OK looked but more like a street wear collaboration with Moncler, not high end luxury.
Even the newer bags popping up on the website are looking like cheap streetwear brands and the prices are getting inflated.
Sad to say but this might be a goodbye from me after more than a decade of nothing but love for the brand.
