Givenchy Takes Flight

January 19, 2019

The Givenchy A/W ’19 Men's show was all about “perverse poshness.” A sleek dope-on-a-budget type of collection (even though nothing Givenchy would ever really fit on anyone's budget), its sharp yet baggy tailored shapes took us straight back to the '90s with all its individualism, and to the '70s, in all its glory.

With this collection, Clare Waight Keller wanted to reimagine menswear as more than just suits and tuxes. She wanted to create day-to-night looks that felt effortless and fluid, yet still artful and undeniably masculine, giving the “Givenchy man a new means of expression.”

Models wore petrol-finished leather with vibing color-blocked suits, “collage” shirts of classic Givenchy prints and this season's Pegasus theme, hybrid down parkas, and reversible waffle coats as they walked through the Haussmannian apartment in the Palais Brongniart, which used to be Paris' stock market.

As for the palette, Keller’s use of electric blue and iridescent fuchsia, panned against minimalist black and camel, gave us serious '70s vibes.

Laura Andraschko SS25

June 12, 2024

At London Fashion Week earlier this week, creative director Laura Andraschko unveiled her latest collection, an overtly political presentation, featuring on-the-nose critiques of the UK upper class’ culture and attitudes.

Andraschko, whose work is typically hedonistic in nature, has taken a left turn for the SS25 collection. The excess and ignorance of the often conservative upper class woman is mocked mercilessly. Faux country club pieces are embroidered with phrases like “Entitled Cunt”, offering unabashed, humorous criticism of elites in line with the trend found in recent films The Menu and Triangle of Sadness.

To frame her theatrical show of ridicule, Andraschko chose horse stables in West London as her location, a perfect encapsulation of the bullshit behind the shiny artifice of the lifestyle Britain's elites have chosen for themselves. The designer isn’t portraying herself as a hater through-and-through, though, as elements of the collection display a deep seeded love for aspects of British culture and fashion. Equestrian wear is included, along with pieces invoking UK country club’s and upper class business wear.

Some pieces evoke the well-known Bullingdon Club, which counts Prime Ministers such as notorious right-wing buffoon Boris Johnson and conservative clown David Cameron as it’s former members. Although the collection s a scathing critique of the rich, it’s also tinged with hope, paving an absurd path forward in the arts, a much needed reprieve in a time of ever-increasing inequality.
