New York Times Fashionさんのインスタグラム写真 - (New York Times FashionInstagram)「During this year’s cruise (or resort) fashion season, a monthlong series of extravaganzas in far-flung destinations that came to an end last week, shows from Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior and Gucci demonstrated that clothes are just a tiny part of a brand’s content. Despite all the lip service paid in recent seasons to reducing the excesses of fashion, this was one of the most mileage-intensive, blowout seasons on record, one that widened the gulf between the mega-brands that can orchestrate such spectacles and the rest of the industry, our chief fashion critic, @vvfriedman, writes. The @louisvuitton show in Isola Bella, Italy, was weird in the best possible way, she says: a bizarro amalgamation of sea creature silhouettes, sci-fi royalty and romance inspired perhaps by the island site but not limited by it. And the @dior show in Mexico City built upon Maria Grazia Chiuri’s reputation for positioning cruise shows as platforms to showcase the work of local artisans. Other shows were less about the clothes and more about the spectacle. The @gucci collection was presented in the 14th-century Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul along with a 36-page document detailing the celebrities in attendance and their social media followings. And the @chanelofficial show in Los Angeles felt more like haute merch, surrounded by snack carts and movie stars and featuring a performance by Snoop Dogg.
