[J'ador-DioR]

Oh dear...this scenario is all too fimiliar.

She's been kicked to the curb for yet another accessories designer?

 

[LostInNJ]

Oh dear...this scenario is all too fimiliar.

She's been kicked to the curb for yet another accessories designer?

And we all know how well that has been playing out

 

[liberty33r1b]

she must feel miserable about this....where will she go from here?

 

[Jamess]

I still have a feeling they'll get someone else in. What about the couture? Can bag designers manage a couture collection?

 

[Mr-Dale]

This couldn't be more unfortunate. I loved what she's done for the house and felt like a right predecessor for such a legend. Not excited about those new designers at all...

Will there be a couture show in January, now? You can't let that be done by some accessoiry designer

 

[TraiT]

^oh lord, now you'd mentioned it.What would be the future of Valentino?!?!

 

[J'ador-DioR]

And we all know how well that has been playing out

Valentino will certainly not go down that route....hopefully

I guess it's pretty much a certainty that Giambattista Valli is going to get this gig now.

 

[thejarc]

I feel so sorry for her.


I loved the couture and the resort collection.
And the newest pictures of s/s09 look quite promising either.


So WHY????

 

[kasper!]

poor alessandraher last couture show was amazing..

 

[kimair]

And we all know how well that has been playing out

oh lordy...don't remind me...
i didn't feel she was right for gucci, but she was doing an amazing job at valentino considering the immense pressure she was under...
she stayed true to the house while modernizing the image and making clothing that was more youthful...

i do hope she gets to do her own thing...it seems working for someone else isn't right for her...

 

[FashionPower]

This is a shame...I'm completely speechless
I feel sorry for her because she's going to be replaced by an accessory team...again!!
She did 2 wonderful collection...if she only would had more confidence and encouragement...but now everything is gone...
I used to love Valentino house but right now I hope it will go on failure

 

[eternitygoddess]

I feel SO bad for this woman CONSTANTLY getting replaced.

And her designs for Valentino are gorgeous. I am so f*cking pissed. Life is really unfair in her case.

 

[vogue28]

how sad, I feel so sorry for her

 

[Salvatore]

I'm so hurt and angry.

 

[TraiT]

omg, fashionPower ---> FIERCE!!

Not having that much hard feelings, but am feeling REALLY depressed. And like what you guys said, replaced by the accessories team AGAIN, sigh.

She needs a real platform to prove herself. Not through the shadow of other houses.

 

[mackos]

I can't say I will miss her very much, but I'm really sorry for her constant replacing either

 

[disco54]

Im not buying anything Valentino ever , that is really stupid if they are getting rid of her and hiring someone from accessories a la frida at gucci we all know how that turns out !!!!

 

[Brighid]

I can't believe. I really love all Alessandra's collections for Valentino. Now I can't imagine Valentino without her

 

[Mr-Dale]

I wonder how the fashion press will respond to this, by the way. Have there been any reactions somewhere already?

 

[ilaughead]

Alessandra must be really bad at designing purses if she's been replaced TWICE by accessory designers.


(But seriously, she's a fantastic designer. There is no reason for her to be out of a job again...)
