How many times have we seen hideous clothes on the Balenciaga runway?
That's obviously subjective. I wasn't talking about pretty or ugly. I was talking about new innovations, silhouettes, patterns, techniques... etc. Hideous or not, you cannot deny Ghesquiere's undying strong penchant for new techniques in clothes making and fabrication; something Paris is
suppose to be renowned for.
Yeah but since when has Anna given a thought about these people or someone like Martin Maison Margiela.
The difference is that the designers mentioned/listed are stationed in Paris. Anna more or less caters to the taste of NY so it's only reasonable for her to try and find new talents in NY. I'm pretty sure Anna would not mind supporting designers from Paris who decide to station themselves in NY in the future. Like what me and
Salvatore were getting at, it should be VP's goal to rile up new designers, but instead they're siding with already established big brands. How many times are we going to see a house revival in Paris while independent designers are left for nothing?
Very good point. And who did the Supers side with that night. Alaia.
I think Anna already explained herself. If it was her decision to leave his work out, although very bitchy on her, at the very least she exercised some power. Supers not being there obviously didn't do anything to deprive the event of press coverage; if not actually given it more because of the controversy.
People may not like Anna's attitude, I for one am not a big fan of her, but denying her unreasonable control in the fashion industry is ridiculous. You got every editor in the world bowing down to her and shaking their boots if they wrong her in any way.
And the documentary me and
Salvatore was talking about, Carine didn't even respond to what Anna was talking about.

I think some people can't believe people are bad mouthing Carine because they see her as the innocent better dressed sister of Anna.
