Warehouse Review 002: A Review of Reviews

‘Warehouse Review’ examines alternative modes of fashion criticism. With this on-going series, we aim to give a proper analysis and contextualisation of contemporary fashion phenomena, deploying various methods of research and analysis to zoom in on specific aspects that make – in our estimation – a fashion phenomenon into what it is. With this second edition of ‘Warehouse Review, A Review of Reviews’, we are taking a meta approach: we are reviewing the fashion review, and in specific, those of the Louis Vuitton fall 2020 womenswear collection. Through this meta-critique, we explore what we might learn about these past examples of catwalk writing as a way to move the discipline forward. It is now time to critique the critic and to review the review!
