I also don't quite think it's totally fair to call Guibourgé's time at Chanel "a failure," to be fair... it at least got people talking about Chanel clothing again (sort of...). For instance, I'm positive I have a few issues of Vogue Paris featuring him and Chanel under his tenure. I think he helped to put Chanel in a (small) upswing of sorts. Kitty D’Alessio should probably get a lot of credit for even seeking out Karl in the first place and being persistent with him. Frances Stein's accessories for Chanel just before Karl was hired, I think did a bit to assist with reviving the brand as well.
