Love your reviews, as always. Bu...Greetings Fluff,<br /><br />Love your reviews, as always. But I was a bit surprised by your praise of MJ!<br /><br />Are you praising his tenure due to the overall financial success of the house (accessories...)? For the last several seasons, I've felt that MJs work has become more and more anti-woman, at Vuitton and *especially* at his own house. The large hats that obscure the face, the crack-head wigs of S/S 2014, and irreverent fabric choices that transform the models into emaciated pimps. SS 2013 is a recent exception, although the cut of the clothes does little to enhance the body of the average woman. Overall, I find his work somewhat misogynistic (remember the Victoria Beckham ad from 208?).. this extends to his treatment of his models, who he pays in "trade"...elsa cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-26540418039291953742013-10-04T11:00:57.943-04:002013-10-04T11:00:57.943-04:00Bonjour Fluff,

I suspect ...I think Marc was shortchanged in Paris. I suspect he signed on to Vuitton with his eye on Dior, Givenchy or YSL but, clearly, it was never meant to be. <br /><br />That he created a fashion identity for an old luggage house is to his credit, but I've always had the sense that he was fucking with us all. The "unevenness" always struck me as a game of cat & mouse with the industry and the slavish consumer, just because he could. <br /><br />Personally I think he is currently the greatest living American designer bar none. Who compares? <br /><br />Let's hope this begins a new phase for his eponymous collection. AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456811515163886597noreply@blogger.com
