Generally, there are three possible ways to deal with the future. You either look at it with confidence, you are one step ahead or you don’t confess it in order to reminisce the good old days. None of these methods is better or worse than another. Actually, some designers even prove that they can combine all of them simultaneously. For the Spring/Summer 2018 collection of Gucci, the archived outfits from Elton John inspired the creative director Alessandro Michele. So while this was a look backwards, the looks give direction to the current gender issue, as they are not clearly assigned to women or men anymore. Also Demna Gvasalia proves that he has always been step ahead of the current fashion world. As head designer of Balenciaga, he plays around with deconstruction of another kind. So let’s be curious about what he will show us in a few weeks for his next collection. Regarding Vetements, which is Gvasalia’s own label, the presentation of the next collection is not set yet, as he exited the usual fashion schedule – another hint that he doesn’t follow the (outdated) doctrine of the fashion industry.
