Designers Switching Houses & Moving to New Brands

[TianCouture]

Seems like it's for real this time... I'm told a certain French luxury brand is finally letting go of their designer (who should've been gone a few collections ago already)... Announcement should be made after show season... A surprise to now one when it's finally announced. Hope they can finally bounce back to relevancy.

God I hope it's Dior...

^ It has to be Givenchy, finally.

It's Givenchy. Finally.

One less styling gig for Carine!

'Tis but a minor sacrifice.

DEMNA, DEMNA, DEMNA...!!

I forgot he's coming up to the end of his contract. So either him or Williams.

Nicola Brognano out from Blumarine

Nicola Brognano out from Blumarine

I’ve always felt like the brand was kinda restrictive for what he can achieve. He put them back on the map but he deserves more definitely.

Nicola Brognano out from Blumarine

Well, that's the end of Blumarine being relevant...

 

[GivenchyHomme]

That's two down, the first being Gabriela Hearst at Chloe. Now the last one that needs to go is Matthew Williams at Givenchy.
Enough games. These brands need talented designers with a strong sense of self to move them forward. The little gimmicks we've had to suffer though belong elsewhere.

I would also add that some brands just need to be put to rest once and for all. It feels like an empty necrophiliac exercise at times (Blumarine case in point).

Nicola Brognano out from Blumarine

AMEN!!

 

[Cocteau Stone]

Nicola Brognano out from Blumarine

Based on that last collection, this really isn't that surprising at all.

He'd be better off at another label as long as his favouring towards the Y2K look goes away, and that he improves his dress making skills or eye a little more. Blumarine is a pretty limited label so he did the best he could though.

I think step 1 is annihilating Lucien Pages

What did Lucien Pages do?

 

[Salvatore]

Right, what’s wrong with Lucien ?

 

[Lola701]

Yes, what’s wrong with Lucien? He is literally the best at what he does even if I think his portfolio of clients is getting ridiculous now…

 

[susseinmcswanny]

Okay I was being dramatic but he's been promoting some of the worst people right now and that is what generates the hype and the speculative value they bring to a brand. I low key blame him for Ludovic getting the job at Ann D

 

[FashioNarrating]

Tbh whenever I read that someone's leaving I start thinking/hoping it's Kim at Fendi.. he was doing good at LV, less so at Dior Homme, but his Fendi tenure is really bland in a typically Anglo-Saxon manner and makes me think he should go back to doing just menswear.
