So glad this guy is no longer at Givenchy. I wonder what they ever saw in him in the first place.

Kanye West ?

Kanye West ?

Haha, all those connections he helped make, but he never got a house.

Yeah, that orbit of his has been sort of extended with Pharrell but he really made friends with some very basic designers (if you can even call them that).

Hopefully, they can all wither out.

This is insanely boring even for his standards.

I have a feeling that Williams' tenure at Givenchy might have ruined his reputation in the high-fashion/luxury space, because they took Alyx down-market in aims of attracting a different clientele. The brand's prices sit at ⅓ of what they were previously and I imagine that they had to cut a lot of corners in quality to do so.

The designer and [Adrian] Cheng, now the label’s majority owner, outlined their plans to accelerate the label’s growth. [...] But they hadn’t explain how exactly they’d reshape Alyx’s product until now. “We’ve had a really great reaction to the collection, especially because we really brought down the prices this season from the past decade,” said Williams.

The new Alyx is significantly more accessible than it had been historically. A sweatshirt came down from $600 to around $250, a leather jacket from $3,000 to $900, and the denim from $700 to $450. “These kinds of prices allow more stores to buy deeper and kids to be able to buy the brand, which is great,” said Williams. “Hence why the collection is smaller than normal; it’s a transition.”

I wonder what other people expected from the guy who put seat belts on everything and called himself a designer…

As they should. High street/contemporary brands should stop trying to be "luxury". Majority of their target gen z' ers wont be able to afford. Their strong opinions doesnt mean buying power.

You really think they have to cut corners in quality? I’m very sure it was overpriced in the first place and the hype around the brand made them believe that the pricing was right.

In reality, judging by the product and his core audience, the pricing is right now, even more if he plans to have longevity. He was scamming his crowd anyway.

When your brand is doing Nike collabs, the price point should reflect that.
