Her last show at Givenchy was amazing just watch it again last night.

Unfortunately she was very incosistent throughout her tenure.
For the couture shows I didn't find any major or particular flaws: the collections were themed, good craftmanship, nice mix of wearability and avantgardness, most of the clothing looked good on red carpet and the PR push was there.
The RTW on the other hand...a disaster. She was going full 180 back and forth from one season to the next one: she started with a Zara inspired collection 2018, then she went dark buodoir fur galore the season after, then she did her worst show with the NY ghetto cool girl rap for SS20 with Charlotte Rampling in the ad campaign (???). Her FW20 show was definitely her best work and a perfect swan song though. You can't have in stores clothing from the SS20 collection and 6 months later do a full 180 with that FW20, that's gonna destabilize your customer base so much.

pls No!!!!!!!!! dont you remember her chloe and givenchy she had enough chances its enough !!!!!

I remember. Her Chloé was performing very well, and has been influential to this day with all the dupes of her Nile, Drew, and Faye bags still floating around. I also remember how she made Pringle of Scotland a thing when LFW was still relevant. So yes, even if you hate her work, it doesn't change the fact that she's a successful designer, even after her unfocused tenure at Givenchy.
