Ongrowing collection of favorite designers/runway shows/specific products. Educating myself to avoid Pinterest and fast fashion retailers when looking for references T-T.
– Brands: are linked to the place where the archives of all collections is (have to navigate on menu).
– Collections/runways: prioritizing high quality gallery > runway yt video > low quality gallery.
- Fall 2026. Gold patterns/techniques in the first half, plus the garment movements.
- Summer 2026. «Couture that can be worn in everyday life». I like the shapes specifically but look 40 is my favorite.
- noir kei ninomiya Spring 2026. Stars. How to make the most out of one single shape. (unsure on how to classify designers here so this structure is a placeholder).
- Fall 2026-2027. Simple to understand, everything just feels fun. Love specifically the setting for this show.
- Women Spring 2026. Look 17 for the colors.
- Women Fall 2026. Looking into floral patterns mainly (there’s pixelated flowers and I find it cool as well, between looks 22-28). How gold/patterns are distributed overall (eg. look 36).
- Spring 2026. As strong as Fall 2026. The aesthetics and Henri’s world is simply on point.
- ⭐ Fall 2026. I cannot bring myself to forget this show, from every look/ jewelry pieces to the political hints behind. It also gives some post-rock vibes that I am weak about.
- Spring 2026. Bringing back elements from the 20th century.
- Fall 2026. Looks 46 and 49 among others (everything is great). These are so good that you don’t need to understand the «why» to appreciate it, you immediately think of it as «pretty».
- ⭐ Fall 2026. For a generation where the «clean girl» look is preferred.
- ⭐ Unsure how to name the collection. Holy fuck,.
- Fall 2026. Suits. Have to rewatch to expand upon it.
- Fall 2026. Very dramatic.
