For me it’s always a matter of personal appreciation. I love Karl but I never fully subscribed to all the people he chose. Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, Alice Dellal or Lily Allen weren’t my cup of tea at all. But at the same time, there was a counter balance with women like Rinko Kikuchi, Diane Kruger, Vanessa Paradis, Anna Mouglalis, Maiwenn and others.
I liked how Dua Lipa looked at the Met but that’s it. I still need to be convinced but she is a pop star. I don’t know if she is the biggest one, probably not but she has enough ties with fashion, doing tours and that’s why it’s relevant in terms of image and aura.
I prefer Dua to Angèle but since Angèle is the feminine francophone pop star that has a friendly fashion image, they signed her. I like Lous and the Yakuza but she is at Vuitton.
