Ghesquière is a much better choice for Chanel :brows:
But honestly, it's gonna be hard to replace Karl.
He was a great storyteller, pret a porter designer, couturier. He had incredible taste. He had a proustian, intuitive knowledge of Chanel...
btw i also find this take that LVMH somehow "did him dirty" to be extremely bizarre?? they covered up his wild antics for years, had several conversations with him beforehand, offered him a sixth-month break... they only fired him because he was...
Interesting! Tbh, that’s what I thought before reading tfsers saying Chanel was doing amazing in boutiques, but I know nothing about Chanel and, sadly, I don’t have access to their figures. I guess their sales are huge still, but not sure what’s...

I’m so fascinated by your review @PDFSD because even when I was still working in fashion, up until this day, I’ve always had the feeling that John was performing. For me, « John Galliano » the designer as we know him is a total performance.
One...
F***, that video is so moving. You can show me 1cm2 of a Dior by Galliano dress and I can totally recreate the show in my head.
That room where they were meeting brought me so many memories. It was like heaven on Earth for me. I forgot the name...
I wouldn’t mind him doing his thing at Chanel but one look in the “Couture Clients” thread or at what happened to all the designers who made a step up in their careers in the past 20 years and we all know it’s a double edged sword as you trade...
So glad everyone's having the same reaction to that vapid 'article'. Is Imran suggesting that designers like Hedi be put out to pasture if they don't post their lives on social media like Jacquemus does? As @Lola701 said, I don't care how many...
I really despise how fashion media keeps pushing for designers to turn into social media influencers. It's almost so they can live vicariously through them or recreate their heyday of the rockstar designer (that they can exploit for their...
They certainly would love changes, they made it clear 9 months ago. At Richemont too.
But their silence after the profit warning make me think they are waiting for the situation to get worse so that Kering would be cornered and have no other...

Billionaire Pinaults Fight to Pull Gucci Off the Discount Rack
Some investors and analysts are questioning whether CEO François-Henri Pinault is the right man to...
Hedi at Chanel…Yeah…Dreadful.
We have seen everything he has to offer in terms of womenswear and yet, people expect fireworks, a revolution in Couture. It will be another bead fest with silver and gold gowns, black and white, p*ssy bows…Yes, the...

Saint-Laurent revenues is -6% too, but irl sales of Saint-Laurent products (designed by AV and produced by Kering) are down 20%, they are compensated by skyrocketing royalties from L'Oréal.
So those figures reflect more the success of L'Oréal...
I found that Galliano video rather uncomfortable to watch. I love what he has done as a designer but his personality, the way of being is off putting to me. He looks dead inside. There were no true emotions, just empty words.
I hope the LVMH...
Among all the questions being raised about Chanel, you are raising the most important thing: The succession.
Karl said it many times, the Weirthemers told him they were going to sell if it didn’t work.
It worked wonderfully, more than expected...
Yes, the weight of the paper was much heavier back in the day. I say that, but I do remember some of the early 70s issue of Bazaar had very thin paper. Even US Vogue used better quality paper, but nothing compared to Vogue Italia & France. Now...
Irdgi, what does going back to LVMH have to do with redemption? Go "home"?? Why on earth would you want to go where creativity goes to literally die. If he left Margiela for Givenchy that'd be the most uninspiring flatlining thing he's ever done...
What a gorgeous ads!:wub:Daria,Raquel,Anja,Natasha,Karen,Mariacarla,Jon!Bravo :flower:
The 2010s were the last decade when the fashion world was rules by beauty,elegance and quality work in everything.
With the onset of 2020s I stopped buying...
i think some TFSers are forgetting the first four or five years after sarah took over mcqueen... there was a complete creative vision. you may not have liked it but the imagination was there, as was lee's spirit. the white a-line dress and combat...
If we look at Sarah’s McQueen, it’s closer in spirit and execution to Givenchy than McQueen.
She is not a leading fashion voice but she is a safe voice. Her biggest asset is that her offering is very sharp, consistent and we have to say it...
i agree that ghesquière would be perfect for chanel. i think he's the only person that could make it relevant and contemporary (save slimane) for a new generation. his talent is being wasted at vuitton.

Maybe not a a fashion history moment but I remember reading tfs many many years ago and getting excited every time The Imagist dropped hints on who would be on the cover of Vogue Italia back in the day when it mattered. The cover rumor thread...
