Our Reading
This is not the first time fashion has rediscovered itself. The label opts for “softening” while proclaiming it as evolution. Material innovation is labeled groundbreaking, as if previous seasons lacked any such ambition. Marketed as a fresh direction, the approach recalls countless other collections that have similarly softened edges in an effort to redefine their brand. Familiar themes are wrapped in buzzwords, while history fades into the background. Once again, the industry presents a familiar idea as a shift.
The cycle continues.
