Alessandro Michele - Designer, Creative Director of Valentino

[LadyJunon]

The comments are still mourning over PP. The most delusional ones are those calling him the OG Valentino (as they bring up that horrific pink collection).

Nothing worse than a fashion designer claming to be the next messiah and pushing a thrift store asthetic showing up at events carrying a 3500 women bag while paired with Vans shoes.YUCK
I hate those designers dressing like clowns and then acting all intellectuals in interviews and on the runway.

You can show me all the 70s era Valentino images and how "he's really referencing the history of the brand". All I still see Alessandro doing his own thing.

I know that SA was mad as hell with those two touching everything and not buying. They didn't even plug the SA. I would have been like if you dont GTFO...

being an intellectual does not mean you can't indulge in granny clothes :-) , they can't be all like JW.Anderson either :-)

All jokes aside i feel Alessandro is more a philosopher type than intelectual, its more about feeling on his life and his relationship to clothes than concept of questions of what clothes should be in 2025.

How did the philosophers distinguish themselves from other intellectuals?

Overall, the first philosophers distinguished themselves through their dedication to reason, observation, and intellectual curiosity, paving the way for a new intellectual tradition focused on inquiry, speculation, and critical thinking.

Albert Einstein (theoretical physicist) slightly off topic :-) would be thrift store aesthetic these days if you would judge his dress choices, i doubt he would be into prada or the row even if his furry shoes he did it before Phoebe :-)

i think the whole nerd group are more factual into Alessandro's `s thrift store aesthetic world category than we would love to believe minimalist and modern aesthetic to fit with intellectual modern aesthetic.

^ ChatGPT says you're being too nice...

I just think Allessandro is very influenced by his Grandma, not making a joke. I think he may find security in dressing this way....

Hes dressed like honestly someone from the Lower East Side, Manhattan. I couldn't really tell you the difference.... A bunch of random thrift store clothes with Vans and a designer purse...

What does wearing specific clothing and having particular taste have to do with being an intellectual and one's critical capabilities?

That is so true. Whenever I see a woman still wearing her old Celine turtle-neck jumper, the row bag with a pair of white sneakers and no socks, I don't see an intellectual woman; I see one basic b*tch with no original thought

Speaking of thrift store asthetic DSM has a portable toilet disguised as a dressing room in that picture background lamo
