The big takeaway this season was the contrast between the collection’s languid and sculptural shapes, but it sometimes felt like more of the same from the resort-ready designer.
Louis Vuitton

Lacoste

There’s plenty of time for the newly installed designer to unfurl an entire brand universe at the world-famous French tennis label, but it’s hard to get there without a clear entry point.
Chanel
5 March 2019 • By Tim Blanks
In his final collection, which made crystal clear that fashion’s empire builder is no more, the late designer offered a fresh take on Chanel classics.
Giambattista Valli

This season, the designer was in a particularly coquettish mood, but the collection was another exercise in Valli-ism, following a well-loved template.
Stella McCartney
The collection had a vigorous breadth and depth, but also an imaginative flair that has eluded her in the past.
Sacai
It was the most direct, convincing collection Chitose Abe has shown in a while.
Alexander McQueen
Sarah Burton has her own tale to tell, outside the overweening narrative of McQueen, and the way she chose to tell it yielded a challenging, breathtaking show.
