already dreaming of the day they revive givenchy's couture with burton. š was she already Mcqueens assistant at Givenchy?
Before leading fashion again, Givenchy probably needs a bit a fashion credibility now. And the romantic sensibility of Sarah suits Givenchy or Dior more than McQueen.
Plus, Womenswear and Menswear + Couture: she can do it all.
My long dream has been Haider ( At Givenchy to makeup for how Antoine played him at Berluti) or at Hermes (because Iām tired of NadĆØge and Veronique)ā¦
Who would you put at Givenchy?
It they pull from that generation, it must be someone with a youthful sensibility. Theoretically, Haider and Olivier wouldāve been shoe-insā¦ in 2008. Theyād deliver beautiful clothes (that honor house legacy while highlighing their idiosyncrasies), but it wouldnāt appeal to anyone younger than 35. Their fanbase/clients are aging with them. Plus, I doubt either would be able to create a sell-out bag or shoe, more less market the brand well.All of the designers from Sarah Burton's generation, including Haider and Olivier, would make for a better choice than appointing somebody from within the studio or going for a young designer with a focus on Gen-Z customer
If you dress Balenciaga being over 30 you are a clown, Iām sorry. Itās for 20 year old people.Does every brand need to cater to under-35-year-olds though? They can buy Balenciaga.
She is a good fashion designer. I think that beyond her technique, she is consistent and she has an aesthetic.I will never understand why Sarah Burton has so much following inside tfs. Yeah, she has the technique, but sheās so corny and irrelevant.
would be nice but already traumatized by all the "new names" out there atm and Givenchy wont survive with another new name flop.Fashion needs new names. Even if they are as bad as SdS or the previous Givenchy designer.
Having someone other than Arnault's children call him "Daddy" genuinely makes every fiber of my being retch.Iām 99% sure it will be Sarah as Givenchy after all this flops in the past few years will need new opening with someone skilled and technically impeccable. Also daddy Arnault doesnāt have to rush, studio will produce some collections as long as itās needed and then theyāll get whoever they want. Iām sure if he wanted to give the job to someone else he would have already done that.

Youāre spot on. Iām not saying that a young designer is the answer, nor that the CD must cater solely to a younger demo. Personally, Iām just not sold on talents like Haider or Olivier at a big house focused on pushing a ton of product.That being said, some designers have a better holistic understanding of leading a brand, translating their vision into a product that sells and can become a recognizable icon, as well as to have appeal throughout a diversity of customers. In some cases, it's debateable whether the actual success is that of an accessories' designer in the studio rather than that of the person taking the bow at the end of the show, or a successful tandem of a creative director and CEO.
