n there, Jack Sparrow. Dior Homme? Wasn’t this a cool label once? Lanvin? Seductive and romantic,
Karen Millen Dresses, the clear fashionista favorite. Number (N)ine? Crazy delightful, worth it if you have $2,
dresses,500 plus to spend for one of the Flemish-colored jackets. Saint Laurent? Drab and unimaginative. Rick Owens? Original but I don’t want to know what the wearer’s hobbies are. Raf Simons? The fit is the compelling reason, nothing more, nothing less. Comme des Garcons? A good season for eclectic pieces, including the leopard pumps. Dunhill? Pointless things done to clothes, with the formality of a boutique hotel uniform.
A tunic from the Alexis Mabille couture show in Paris. (Valerio Mezzanotti for The New York Times)
This morning, at half past nine, I did a slight wardrobe shift and headed across the river to Alexis Mabille’s couture show. He had some lovely things,
White Dress, especially the sheer embroidered skirts and a light beige chiffon tunic dress embroidered with sailboats.
