The collections, the debuts, and what the clothes are actually arguing for.
RunwayHis debut ready-to-wear was described as the first real break at the house in more than four decades. Whether the Chanel customer wants a break is the question the ovation could not answer.
RunwayDemna's first Gucci built each look as a character in the house's family tree, re-proportioned the Bamboo 1947 and put the Horsebit loafer with sheer hosiery. The reviews were warm. The forums were not.
RunwayHis first Dior womenswear, October 1, got a standing ovation in the room and a genuine fight everywhere else. The most hyped and most polarizing show of the year, which is exactly what a debut should produce.
