Alessia Pellarini - Designer

- Some Balmain jacket gifted from Decarnin
- Black skinny pants from 7 for all Mankinds
- Some Isabel Marant

That's all LOL
And probably a lot of Chanel jackets (that would actually interest me. I would add to my little collection).
She styled Gucci so she maybe kept some pieces from Frida and I’m expecting a lot of vintage stuff.
Even if it’s a bit unfair to compare an editor’s wardrobe to a designer’s one, you got my point.

I think from editors who have style (to me) and whom I would love the raid their wardrobe, MAS and Carine would be my first choice. I absolutely adored Franca’s style.

However, I think Katie Grand can’t dress. But her archives must be fabulous!

Giovanna Battaglia (who is now a designer) can dress and must have insane archives too.
 
If that's true, we can't blame her, can we? She needs to network and find a new job $$
first it's not a rumor i would say allegedly or the story is :-)

i don't blame her at all ..... they are perfect for eachother cheap and cheerful :-)

she won't be hired by ancora boy as he himself is in the line for the chopping block and she knows it


honestly i regret to even talk about her because its making her relevant when she is not lol
 
I visited the archive, because it’s open to design teams, stylists etc, and it’s so various and incredible: from the most iconic Prada looks to Comme, vintage Alaia, Balenciaga by NG and of course Fendi. All cathegorized and divided by type or by use, with the runway pic. She’s done an amazing job. And the fact that she organised it by colour and with an instagramable style is only pleasant for me, because it really helps when you are doing research to be in a more pleasant location than a garage or something like that! Brava Alessia!
if you need all this to see the beauty of the original piece than ...i rest my case .......i know of other teams that went and the verdict is the collection is banal and many obvious pieces. (hence runway pics lol )

i rather spend hours going to a cold garage in the middle of nowhere and find more interesting forgotten pieces or samples that were never documented and do my own home work.

🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐 not opening this thread any more ...

Then you need to visit Ian Archives!
Can we make a thread for him?
 
Imagine getting fired from your dream job and ruining your reputation with a conglomerate like LVMH all because you have some kind of a superiority complex and an attitude problem and can't just be a kind and generous person.

It's a shame really. Her contribution to the inter-seasonal collections at Fendi was really something. Oh well!

She is in good standing still with Pietro Beccari who left Fendi in 2018 and managed to snag a Fur consulting gig at LV, where he is now.

I have no doubt her professional, technical capabilities but always found her presentation and presence to be garish and slightly tacky, but maybe that's what supposedly made Fendi 'good'?
Cannot understand this Fur from Fendi 2018..

This is not fur…
I mean the collar is but the coat is not in fur.
This was the Orphism inspired collection and they did a lot of trompe-l’oeil. Fur was used in small touches in that one.

In reality, if you really want to see a clear representation of Alessia’s work at Fendi under Karl, you have to look at the pre-collections.

Because with Karl, in the collections he designed, people were really assistants and suggesting details and finishing touches to his drawings.
Much like the clear representation of Virginie’s work at Chanel during the Karl years was the pre-collections called Act 1.
 
I though a thread was created because she had something going on in terms of her career (other than her archives) lol.

Regarding her style, I could care less. However, her archives are fantastic, no matter how tacky the display might be.
She has the best of Prada and the best of Fendi and a lot more. That’s what matters. This is what you want to see from a fashion person like that.

The same way that I don’t like the way ADR dresses but her archives must be fabulous!

Okay we all love Emmanuelle Alt, she is the epitome of Cool and stuff but I wouldn’t bother to spend 1 second in her wardrobe/archives or whatever.

I would like to see the archive of Camille Bidault-Waddington! She was having fun mix and match..

Back to topic..just to confirm, she was responable for all the prefall and resort collections?

Yes she was responsible for the prefall, resort collections at Fendi but she was also responsible for all the « non-runway » collections at Fendi. She worked with Karl on the shows but was really responsible for the translation of his vision to everything in Couture too.
And of course they worked with Charlotte Stockdale.

I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me the contribution of Amanda Harlech there ahahha. Because with Alessia and Charlotte + Silvia, I wonder what was her role there with and without Karl lol.

Karl's walking cane as Hudson Kroening had exclusivity with CHANEL...LOL
 
Amanada was a Muse and Stylist but she didnt work with Fendi until after Karl died. She helped Karl with decision making and styling at Chanel and then was a consultant to Fendi under Kim.

Alessia was a glorified Product developer under Karl and Sylvia. I doubt any 'designer' under Karl did much more than Finessing the vision.
