I think AM needs this, hopefully this is what gonna make him to rethink and reevaluate his works and his vision (i doubt tho)

I don’t even know if it’s a question of styling.Could you not say that Michele's Valentino is a closer (and frumpier) vision of early Valentino than the Viva Valentino campaign? I do understand the author's POV and agree that if styled more minimalistically or casually, Lallo's Valentino would be more popular with the PPP customer.

parts of this era will sip trough in the new demna gucci because the overlap of merch needs to be supported like GG belts etc even if most of Lallo gucci was from archive gucci any ways when it came to acc and hardwearUnrealistic, but De Meo should just take Alessandro and his team back to Gucci. The only loyal clients (to “Gucci”) and majority of aspiring ones seem to purchase only the products that resemble his era. The impression he left 2015-2023 is too great and new and existing clients aren’t buying into Gucci’s new minimal approach nor are they exposed to or willing to jump to the Valentino brand for his current work with those sky-high prices.
The only way I can see Michele getting the top spot at Valentino is that Rachid Mohamed Rachid (Chairman of Valentino) wanted Michele for his relaunch of Walter Albini (Michele's favourite designer), but when Michele didn't want to help fund the relaunch (according to Puck or Glitz), I think Rachid decided to install him at Valentino to keep him close when funding was found to relaunch Albini.I never understood how AM was appointed to Valentino.
I am not as knowledgeable as the majority of you on CEOs and who runs what company or what product sells and what doesn't ( Though I know AM did well with accessories at Gucci )
LVMH why not ?Apart from L’Oreal, I don’t see who would buy Valentino.
Renzo Rosso could bid but it’s quite difficult to me to see a huge development of the brand.
do tell :-) i have not reached out to my buddies i think they are stressed for some time nowThere's a lot of whispers about him being on his way out already. I just wonder how they're going to manage that from a timing perspective. He'll probably be out the second they officialise that the brand has been sold which will take a minute.
I feel like Givenchy already fill the gap that Valentino could have.LVMH why not ?
I feel like Givenchy already fill the gap that Valentino could have.
And I think the LVMH formula of development is a bit exhausted and could not possibly work for Valentino.
I can see the Elkann and L’Oreal buying the house.
Valentino would be really a way for l’Oreal to see if they have the force to handle such a big brand. But at the same time, I find what they are doing with the beauty so vulgar.
We will see. But I find it interesting that the Qataris were willing to sell Valentino before Balmain.
Theatre costume designer, fashion curator a la Andrew Bolton or philosopher like his partner. His vision and fashion proposition is too much off putting in 2025, no one really wants thrift shop maximalism anymore.As for AM, I think his time at Valentino thus far has exposed the limits of his talents — and it makes me wonder what his future in fashion might look like once Valentino moves on from him.
